     Oh, I forgot....and how many TR-6s get lined up at each car show, 
     every where....?????  Bunches!!! Sort of borring, ain't it.
     
     Now, how many GT-6s grace the same shows????  Sort of exciting, huh?

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?
