Thanks Liv .

Yup , I've got an addiction me thinks . Even if there is a cure , I don't
want it . Ever ! I'll quit cigarettes , but never Triumphs !

Never owned any other car than a Triumph , unless you count a brief
relationship with a Renault R 10 Gordini when I started studying .... , but
I don't like to talk about it .

The bank ... AKA satan's lair ... frown upon the likes of me for wanting to
invest in anything older than 10 years .

Listers,
this explains the request of a million questions, that took us 35 minutes to
digest, some of us will never be able to comprehend, and even fewer of us
haven't
got an answer too.
I truly considered myself lost to LBC disease until I saw Chris's last post.
Now
I think I may have a chance of recovery.
Chris, keep all the stuff, get a big fat loan from the bank, get the GT6.
It's a
wonderful car. I will steal Andre Rousseaus's someday.
Someday you'll break the record for having the most LBC parts projects on
the
lot.
Hope this helps.
