        You have to develop a thick skin to own a Triumph... It's called... 
        character!

        Deep in your heart know tha the MG guy was saying to himself "Oh
        sh*t, a Triumph... I hope he doesn't want to race...  It's awful
        I can't even get by a ratty Herald... I'm gonna cry... Maybe if 
        I just ignore him...":*)

        Once a fellow said to me "That's a really nice MG..." I said 
        "It's NOT an MG it's a Triumph... He then asked "Oh, when did MG 
        make the Triumph?" 

        Triumphs guys just don't get no respect!
