Hi Guys, Well, I did about the worst thing a Triumph guy could do. I went over to the dark side. I bought a 2002 Miata LS in dark green with tan leather interior and top. It has 23000 miles and 6 mon

Greg and Brian; You guys are sick puppies. If you'd like to go scary fast, catch a ride on my modified TRIUMPH Bonneville. It'll take those curves better than those lumps 'o steel that you're talking

I guess it all depends upon what you are looking for. I've known lots of people who really like Spridgets because you can have lots of fun driving them on the edge and not break speed limits. There

Yes, it just depends on where you want to go. My TR250 takes me back to 1968 when I drove it off the show room floor. No other car can get from here to 1968. Don Malling

Several years ago I became intrigued by the Miata so I went to the dealer for a look. I agree that it reminds me of the MGB. After sitting in the vehicle I instantly was jolted back to reality. I wil
