Hi Stan,
I agree, weather was great, even the fog that started out the mornings wasnt
too bad and made for a nice background for some pics. There were a ton of
Triumphs and it was nice to be in the front row this year. There was also a TR5
there that the owner purchased in Brussels and brought back here. For the most
part original but very much a driver. I have some pictures that I took of that
car and some others of the show that I will post on the triumphowners site soon
when I can sit down and organize things. And yes, I will share the specifics of
the windblocker and provide some other pics.
Cheers,
Aaron

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:

you will have to sort through the usual dross but there may be some
nuggets in here
Stan

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.
