My experience this last Saturday was quite pleasant, drove the TR6 to a
local fruit stand here in San Jose California, on the way out a guy stopped
and mentioned "nice Triumph". That made my day!.
However, the best comment that I've heard on my TR6 was made a few years
ago when at a shopping center, a guy stopped and asked the model year of
the TR. After my reply, he turned to his wife and said "Honey, that is a
real sports car".
I guess, I've been lucky as to meeting people who know the difference
between British cars.
