I'm very new to this list and also in search of a LBC with Triumphs very
high on my "gotta have it" list. I had a run in with the good doctor a few
weeks ago when I found his cars for sale in the Triumph classified pages and
sent him an email asking a few questions. His reply led to believe this was
not a person I would ever do business with. Everyone's reactions to his
posts on this list confirm my initial impression. To his credit, he did
follow up and email me pictures of his cars and they do look immaculate. The
right person may be able to get past the person and focus on the car.....
cuz that's what this is all about...LBC's. And it has been an entertaining
Friday!!

home and started just following this thread after getting my semi-monthly
electrical primer from Dan Masters.

good Doctor does seem a little like he belongs permanently at the Cole
Auction or Pebble Beach, more likely to find more of his ilk there. I guess
anyone can throw tens of thousands of dollars at a car, but had the good
Doctor actually DONE some of the work, I would have been slightly more
impressed.
