....Mind you, if it looks as though the snow is over for the year, I might not
 fit it until
October...

Mike, don't go saying things like that, look what you went and did!!!!!

(For the benefit of those who don't live in Bedfordshire or Cambridgeshire,
 Mike, Tim and I all woke up to about 3 inches of snow this morning.  OK, not
 much compared to what those in Canada, the northern US or Scotland can get,
 but it's a big deal in the South-East!)

Jeff's Totally Triumph Garage - well, the best thing to do is go and have a
 look.  It's a bit like this list with lots of people sharing ideas and help,
 but messages are entered and displayed on his web-site, and everything is
 divided up into helpful categories.  Address is -

TRGB is a Triumph specialist in Somersham - large village to the north of
 Cambridge.  They sell pretty much the full range of new parts, although some
 unusual parts they source from the big dealers (Rimmers and Moss), so you have
 to wait a few days.  I usually find them to be a little cheaper than the list
 prices from Rimmers & Moss.  They also dismantle scrap vehicles so they have a
 large supply of second-hand parts.  They have a workshop which can handle
 anything up to a full restoration, and at a pretty reasonable hourly rate.
 You can definitely go there and spend hours browsing and chatting about
 Triumphs...  Only problem is they close lunch-time on Saturdays, so you can
 only spend half the day there!  It takes me about 20 mins to Bedford and 20
 mins to TRGB, so I guess its about 40 minutes from you.  I actually just
 checked on one of these route-planner things, and the correct route takes you
 about 100 yards from my door, so you have no excuse not to pop in and see me!
 Have a look at their web-site on www.trgb.co.uk.

Look forward to meeting the two of you...

Richard & Daffy
