Hey hey - don't knock Triumphs. I raced a TR2 back in the days when
they were all the rage. I used to embarrass those trucks called
"XK120" which I could not have done in the car I traded in for the TR
- an MG TD !! Even though I have an MGB GT V8 I long for the TR2 or
TR3 (which I had later). I mean how many cars can you pick up road
kill without stopping and just hanging your arm down to the ground ???
