22 May 1994, Aptos California,  TeriAnn Wakeman, by the power invested in her by
herself officially declaired TS75519L to be reassembled to the point she was 
originally going to disassemble it down too.  She stated that while there are a 
couple of parts still disassembled, such as the wiper motor, that was not 
originaly going to be disassembled, that there are corresponding parts that were
going to be disassembled and have already been reassembled.  She stated that she
was looking at the newly reinstalled referbished brake/clutch peddle assembly 
when it hit her that she was making headway on the project originally specified.

She also stated that all the engine parts are back from the machine shop, and 
Greg Solo, has the crank already installed in the block.  The engine is expected
to be completed within two weeks.  The overdrive transmission has been cleaned 
up and is waiting for installation.

22 May 1994, Aptos California, TeriAnn Wakeman, local British car driver, has 
been reported to be over the deep end from lack of a roadster with the top off 
to drive.  Local sources state that on Sunday, 22 May, she fitted the 
brake/clutch peddle assembly, the head light dimmer switch assembly, made a 
trial fit of the windscreen, polished and mounted the Motoleta Steering wheel.  
According to sources, her hands were shaking as the mounting screws to the wheel
were being tightened down.  She opened the drivers door, sat down on the floor, 
placed both hands on the wheel, draped a elbow over the door, put one foot on 
the accelerator peddle and sat there with moist eyes, staring out the 
windscreen.  According to whitnesses, she was seen to have actually pushed the 
starter switch with the clutch peddle down.

What makes this seem a bit strange is that there is no engine, battery, or 
hydrolic cylinders installed in the Triumph at the time.  When asked to comment 
on this strange behaviour, all she would say is that her mind remembers the 
exact sount of the Triumph 4 cranking over and starting. 

Sources state that the only cure is the completion of the project.

22 May 1994, Aptos California.  This little community situated on the edge of 
Monterey bay was rocked by the announcement that Elvis had landed in a UFO and 
made away with a box of Triumph parts.  The box of parts is suspected to be 
hiding in an alternative universe.  Among the missing parts are reported to be 
the Master brake and clutch cylinders with their linkage, the clutch slave 
cylinder along with all its mounting fixings, the center rear view mirror, the 
two metal parts that fit under the windscreen mounting flanges, the windscreen 
washer nossels, and misc. cowl vent parts.

Repeated searches have been unsucesful in locating the missing box.  It is 
assumed that Elvis will return it from its hiding spot in an alternate universe 
soon after new replacements are purcha
