Richard, Glad to see you are giving your expert advice and are still =
around the block. How is Sally and the TR? You will always stand out in =
my mind for Triumphfest 2004 in Lake Tahoe. You really gave my prospect =
to buy Triumph a complete going over and got a thumbs up. I have never =
regretted the buy and am still enjoying the car immensely. My 18 year =
old son just got checked out in it a couple of day=92s ago and is =
smoother at the wheel than me. I am now on Cape Cod and had my old club =
from Texas (TTR) here last summer when they were on one of their famous =
17 day 6000 mile caravans. Was great to see everyone. Wish we lived a =
little close and could come by and =93rock for a spell=94.=20
