Actually I have found my Triumphs to be  pretty reliable, but, if you =

Dave, congrats on getting the 4A done, and great choice in music

Subject: [TR] My TR4A Friday....




So I was off work today and had scheduled the glass guy to install my =
new windshield. It's been sitting in the garage for about a year now. =
After the guy left, I sat there looking at the car and realized that my =
15 year "hobby" was done, finished, nothing to do by drive it.. ready.
It was 74 degrees and sunny so off I went on a nice drive.=20
There I was following the Ohio river listening to Steely Dan's "Time out =
of Mind" in the new headrest speakers smiling....=20
As I passed a truck the hood emblem suddenly flew over my head and =
landed in the road behind me. Crap!!!
I pulled over and ran back down the side of the road. Could that shiny =
object in the road be my emblem??=20
Why yes it can!!!=20
I was 10 feet from it when a minivan drove over it and it exploded into =
a million pieces.
When I got home, I called my favorite Triumph mail order house and =
talked to Scott.. That's right we are on a first name basis. Anyway he =
is sending me a new emblem and I should have it late next week. I told =
Scott that I had just finished the restoration and he laughed and told =
me,"Dave, you will never be done, You will never find all the oil =
leaks".
