Hey Listers,
I thought I would share this from the NCTA TRCoaster June Newsletter. My
good buddy Ken has found a lot of stuff from his 76 TR6 including issue #1
of the 6-PACK newsletter.
Enjoy,

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR TRIUMPH
OWNERS
Due to a sudden overheating problem with the TR6, I
was looking thru my parts boxes and found a copy of
the VTR and Triumph Sports Owners Association
newsletter for Mar/April 1983. It was mailed to the
previous owner of my TR and the postage was 11
cents. That's note worthy in its self. As I was looking
thru the newsletter I found the following 10
Commandments:
1. Thou shalt not store thy Triumph out-of-doors,
except for thy wife's modern iron.
2. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Triumph,
nor his garage, nor his battery charger.
3. Thou shalt not love thy Triumph more than thy
wife and children, as much, but not more.
4. Thou shalt not read thy English Channel on
company time, lest thy employer make it
impossible to continue thy car payments.
5. Thou shalt not despise thy neighbor's 240Z, nor
his Mazda, nor even his 1948 MGTC.
6. Thou shalt not deceive thy wife into thinking
that thee is taking her for a romantic Sunday
drive when, indeed, thou art going out to look at
another Triumph.
7. Thou shalt not allow thy daughters nor thy sons
to get married during the hold days of a VTR
Convention.
8. Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost of
thy latest restoration, at least not all at the
same time.
9. Thou shalt not promise thy wife a new addition
to the house and then use it to store Triumphs
in the attic.
10. Thou shalt not buy thy wife a floor jack for
Christmas, unless it is for her Triumph.
Another piece of Triumph Significa that I found in the
newsletter was the following: Did you know that a TR-2
front apron was used as a model for the face of E.T.?
