I feel especially honoured by that fantastic group. In 2009,  when doing the Triumph Trans AmeriCan charity drive, ISOA put on an incredible event when I visited Joe PAWLAK and his team of busted knuckles who had previously rebuilt the Stag I was driving. The group was very much in evidence and sang an adapted song from its repertoire called “Johnnys got a brand new Stag”. Brought a CD home and played it to a bunch of TR Register arrogant, PITA stuffshirts here in the U.K. who claimed the material was sacrilegious to Triumph etc etc. I applaud the Spinal Tappets, as did many other *older* members of other U.K. clubs have heard and enjoyed that same CD. Too many younger ones just don’t get it / see the songs as mickey taking and especially so if they own a car of the same model. Vive les Spinal Tappets even though I believe they’ve disbanded. Sad, they were great.
