Hi 6 Packers,

I will be in the UK in about 2 weeks and am wondering if there are any
suggestions any one can give regarding Triumph related points of interest.
My itinerary includes a Jaguar factory tour (street cars, not F1) and since
that's in Coventry, I think it's close to the Gaydon (?) facility. Is that
true? What exactly is the Gaydon facility? Is there anything interesting to
see there?

I was also thinking of possibly visiting Racetorations as this seems to be a
popular supplier of high end racing parts for TRs. Someone mentioned that
they were in $ trouble - is this correct?

Also, if any one is on the big triumphs list, is John McCartney still a
member of that group? ISTR he used to work at Triumph when it was still a
going concern and was most recently involved in the Triumph facility at
Gaydon. Has any one heard from John lately?

Many thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
