Hello all.
Well I am back online with a new OS as my 7 year old 40 G drive bit the dust.
That means the end of windoz for ever.
I was using the primary to boot my gentoo system on drive 2.
The good news is all my "data" was on drive 2 and is intact.
All I had to do was buy a new drive (80 bucks) take about 3 hours to install
Ubuntu (KDE version) and I am back.
The Ubuntu install is about the easiest I have ever seen. Updates are a snap.
Much better than Gentoo.
Now to the TR stuff.
Will be heading up to the Glen early in the morning. Should get there about 10
or so. Looks like the rain is going to hold off until night.
Pick up the 72 TR6 on Wednesday. Still not sure why I want to punish myself
and do another full body off frame, engine rebuild etc on a car I am not
familiar with.
After finishing the 4 last year, I said to the wife that concludes my
restorations, but now that I have 2 Triumphs and am driving to more shows and
car hops and hearing those nice 6s, I get that bug again. And as if by magic
I am getting another project!
When will we ever learn?
But I have to admit, the 4 did come out real nice and it is a wonderfull car
to drive and is a real looker.
Also decided that a French Blue would look nice next to the Pale Yellow 3 and
the Spa White 4. Eventhough the 72 did not come in that color. Not sure what
the interior will be though.
Bob
