Harold,
You need buy another couple of Triumphs to keep them all happy.

I have another twist which came from the trust lawyer. Just because you
like something, don't hand it down your kids They will hate you. I have
Stag and working on another. I cant see traits in neither of my boys (16
and 11 years)   working on cars. The Stag runs OK, but I'm on top of it.
