Carol,

Yes, a TR owners, and in fact all Triumph owners, are definately 
certifiably insane. 

Why else would someone buy a car and spend large amounts of time and
money repairing it, and relatively little time driving it?

My TR3 is now going into it's fourth year of my ownership. It has been
driven for all of 5 minutes in those years.

It was off the road for uncounted years before that (it still has
P155R15 tires on it and they havent been availiable for I don't know how
long).

Yet I regularly pour money and time into it, hoping that someday....

So far, my wife has not called the men in white coats, but if I don't
get the car to the point of at least being in one piece soon, I may be
looking out at it from a padded cell.
