[Fot] Thunderbolt

[Dean]

Is this the one where they were installing the engine/trans and the shifter was still attached. Often I find myself complaining to my wife when they do stupid things.

Spent many Sebring 12 hr support races with Wiz and Bob Youngdahl.  Got to drive the Thunderbolt once, quite the experience.  Even gave him some parts ( like a stock head) when he converted to a street car and gave it to his daughter and son-in-law.  There is no doubt what so ever that if he had still been around or if they had ask Bill, they would have been directed to some TRiumph experts.  But, that wouldnt have gotten the on the telly.
