[TR] Sad Triumph (owner) story

[Rochlin Robert]

	I agree TerryAnn,
	 I drive my TR6 almost every day from April to November.  My attitude is that the next owner can worry about the wear…
	Best,
	Bob

> I agree whole heartedly! Triumphs were made to be driven and perfect hanger queens trailered to shows are a waste of a good TR. Mine was refurbished and repainted original colour 32 years ago. Could use new paint & some interior freshening up, but I keep her as clean as practical for a daily driver and get high smiles per mile out of her.
