Scott, I recently posted a message lamenting that Spitfires
and GT6's get no respect, even from other Triumph owners.  I
got severely nuked by a bunch of TR6 owners who insisted it
ain't so.  If it ain't, how come the resale value of my GT6
is about 1/2 that of a TR6 in similar condition?  The good
news is that we can afford to buy twice as many cars as 
they can, right?
Dave
