Hi all, just catching up on the digests after only being at work sporadically.
Survey:
Age 34
wt. 200 lbs.
ht. 6' 5"
sex: Male
Triumph TR3
TR3 reliability:
I used my TR3 as a daily driver for 7 years before it got to the point that it
really needed alot of attention. In fact it still has the studded snow tires
on it, it was winter when I quit driving it. The PO used it as an only car
until she stuck it in the garage for 20 years. Its now in the garage for a
full restoration. These cars make great drivers especially since they are so
easy to work on. The hard top would be a must for winter driving for me,
makes it all nice and warm inside, just remember to duck when going over
bumps!
Now a question. What is the relationship of the Triumph Bicycle company to
the Triumph marque? Is it an off shoot of the motorcycle company? My mother
picked up a Triumph Bicycle for me at a thrift shop for $20, so it got my
interest up.
Please copy any replys to me directly, as I am on the digest.
Thanks. Scott.
