You have to develop a thick skin to own a Triumph... It's called...
character!
Deep in your heart know tha the MG guy was saying to himself "Oh
sh*t, a Triumph... I hope he doesn't want to race... It's awful
I can't even get by a ratty Herald... I'm gonna cry... Maybe if
I just ignore him...":*)
Once a fellow said to me "That's a really nice MG..." I said
"It's NOT an MG it's a Triumph... He then asked "Oh, when did MG
make the Triumph?"
Triumphs guys just don't get no respect!
