Yeah...and don't forget that in those very rare moments when the TR-6
guys finally succumb to the elements and have to put up their
tops...they still get wet!!!!
Also, I haven't seen many TR-6's with a neat little factory plate
acknowledging the "racing" heritage of the model...
Gee, I guess I'm guilty of that about which you complain...in reverse!
Hmmmm, I'll bet my GT-6 (or even my Spitfire) could beat a TR-6
around the ol' slalom course in reverse...
Hang in there...the day will come when these fine little LBC will get
their due!!!!!!!!

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?
