great car. The owner had a variety of windshield stickers indicating

Hey! That's me! Thanks for making my day, Martin. I was bumming
over the monster bill for welding my cracked front suspension mount,
cracked diff mount, and several other repairs, when I saw your post. (No
slam on Motorhead, they did great work and stuck to their estimate).
Perfect? Giddaddahere. Thanks a million, your *timing* was perfect.
To the gent who is looking for a TR5: I think there are only 12 in
the U.S., none "officially" imported. (Note to Joe Curry: this list would
take less time than Spitfires.) I saw a LHD model at Triumphs Only in San
Jose (408) 947-7766 in very nice shape a year ago, I think they still have
it. It spent most of its life in Texas, has some special high-speed goodies
from TriumphTune, very nice condition, BRG. Are you sitting down? $18,500
for the privilege of owning Satan's Own fuel injection system and wild-a**
cam. For me, the TR250 works better.
