[TR] Drive your Triumph Day

[CFM-TR]

1st - I have not noticed any postings for a couple of weeks.  Did something happen?

2nd - does anyoneone have a 3d file for a TR3A? I just got a 3d printer (my nephew upgraded his), and I thought a car image would be fun to do instead of the box type items I've done so far.   Thanks.
