Hi, I was a newbie last year at age 58. Had a blast and have met some
really great people in my travels. Very friendly and helpful. My thanks also
goes out to all those folks. Great bunch.
See you all at the Glen.

Subject: [Fot] GT6... EP or DP ... or both.
> Well,,, the GT6 was EP and DP, depending on which year it was
configured to.

> Was any other Triumph, in any configuration classified in more than one
group?

> I think the DP could have been related to 3 Webers in some sanctioning
bodies.

> I think my 1970 GT6+ could still be EP in some sactioning bodies albeit
the 1.75 SU's versus the 1.50 Strombergs. Go figure...

> I'm still peddling softly, so, I frankly don't care which production
group I may be placed in. Everyone tells me the GT6 was running fast in both
groups. I just love the GT6, period. I'm just happy to be out there,
running. I really don't care if I start in last and finish in last. Just as
long as the baby gets back on the trailer, the way it got off.

designs.

> I counted last year, this GT6 is my 19th GT6, including the first GT6 I
bought when I was 19 years old. This includes all my cars I owned that were
donors or parts cars. I've had one MKI parts car, and two MKIII drivers ,
all the other have been GT6+ 's or MKII's. I've had some nice MKII's , even
built a really nice one from ground up with 2 donors. This GT6 I have now,
is by far the nicest I've ever experienced in any form, thanks to Bob Davis,
the builder.
> I've been honored to be the keeper, custodian, and the owner and driver
of the little GT6 I have now...

> I have to say, I'm really honored to be in the FoT group where even a
newbie can strike up a really compelling string with all of you really cool
guys who also share, with little variation, only seperated by dollars and
years, the same love for our beloved Triumphs.

> So. Sincere thank yous to the group, most of all Kas! What an honor the
FoT gives to all of us, including me, a newbie at 53 years old!

> Still wish I was going to the Glen!!!!
