Many of you may remember the CSN&Y song by this name, and the sentiment it
expressed of leaving your beliefs behind. Well, I drove a Porsche
yesterday...
...and almost sold my TR6! I'm sure many of you have many more miles in a
Porsche than I do, but I wanted to share my experience. The Porsche is a
Targa, '78, 3.0L. I must say that it was a hard ride, with the gauges all
business. The car is a fast steerer, with not much hood to look at and a
muffled whir from the rear end. In short, it is a no-nonsense sports car
(stating the obvious; having an epiphany).
Frankly, I love my Triumph. I missed the wood. I missed the way the hardtop
crabwalks all over the H-deck. I missed the stench of oil. I missed the way
the steam comes out of the hood whenever I push the heater knob in. And
worst of all, I would have missed the Triumph list very, very much! So
needless to say, the TR6 remains.
