I must agree. The only Triumph I ever owned cost me more in parts and
labor than any other car I owned. But I loved it more than any other car
I owned. It sat in the driveway several months out of the year waiting
for parts (hard to get in the post Triumph 80s pre-internet days) or for
me to get money for parts. Even though it was my daily driver I hated to
part with it. Even though I don't have a TR now I still long for one and
I read about them here daily. I wish there was one sitting in my
driveway now. Probably not running and waiting for parts ;-)
