I still joke that I spend more time under my car than in it. While thats
not been true this year - for the first time since buying it in 1992 - I
know its only a matter of time before something else goes wrong. I tell
people that lbcs are like helicopters - they need as many hours maintanence
as they do flying - and that my Triumph is just a collection of parts flying
together in loose formation.
Hang in (and under) there!
Rod. '70 TR6 CC55899L
