Subject: [TR] What "Kit?"was The Gift of a Triumph

Someone commented how a "conversion kit" put new pep in their brother's =
TR3. What kit does something like that? I think it was Alex.
=20
Regarding 'the gift of a Triumph- I don't see anything ridiculous about =
this thread. I think we all need to think ahead; what can we do to =
instill our hobbies on to our grandkids' generation? Personally, I =
strike-out here and am bankrupt. Our family legacy included passing on =
keepsakes like silverware- what does the present generation think about =
it?... They 'could care less'. Am I right or wrong? Somebody help me =
here...I hate being so negative.
