I took the first ride on the 72 TR6 yesterday morning to get NYS inspection. 
about 15 miles out and 15 back first thing in the AM. Wonderful time to drive, 
just me and the cows!

Car ran nice and I have to say the Bell sport exhaust gives the 6 a very 
interesting exhaust note. Much different than the 3 or 4.

Took the car to its first cruzin last night again about 15 miles out and 15 
back. Wife is impressed! 

Anyway this car was almost 3 years in its restoration. I planned to get it 
completed by this time last year but other things got in the way.

Car is French Blue with Superlites, Moto Lita steering wheel, burl elm dash 
and a spoiler. Not correct for a 72 but I like the color and figured the 
spoiler couldn't hurt.

This is my last restoration. Time to enjoy the 3, 4 and 6 now that I am 
retired from work and Triumph restorations.

I would normally post this on the 6pack email list but I was bounced off for 
some reason about 6 months ago and no amount of emails to MJB will get me 
back. Has that list been discontinued?
