It was an excellent weekend. This was our first trip to the BI in Stowe
and we had a great time. I counted over 50 TR6's alone and a TR6 won
best in show. Along with the Italia there was a very interesting GT6
that has been converted to all electric (owner is paraplegic and I think
he did the work himself), several Daimler Darts including two red
beauties (hey, eye of the beholder and all that..) and a unique
"Aristocrat Thrust" that seems to have a lot of Healey in it. I also got
a look at Aarons EFI setup as well as his new wind blocker that I hope
he will share some details about shortly.
We drove up in a small convoy following some rural routes for about 5
hours of some very pretty scenery and winding roads. Rain all the way
there on Thursday, clear blue sky and a quick stop at Ben And Jerry's on
the way home.
My camera contents are here with pictures of all of the above and more:

nuggets in here

I went this year. My car did not. :-(
Nevertheless, the weather was great and there were lost of British cars
and
tons of Triumphs.
Highlights
a.) TR250 CD1L was there and looking very nicely restored.
b.) Rick Patton's fire breathing TR6 was there. All I can say was WOW!
c.) Beautiful Triumph Italia was there
d.) The show was in Stowe VT. What more can one say?
e.) It was great to see so many TR6's in one place and on the road.
Lowlights
a.) Used Parts Vendors
b.) My car was not ready.
Regards,
John Cyg.
