For a few moments this afternoon the walls of Waltham shook to the
thunder of a mighty Triumph 2-liter six. Witnesses said the sound
was accompanied by the flash of a red GT6 motoring sedately around
the block under its own power, exercising all four gears, having
first exercised reverse by backing out of the garage. The event
organizer was given a brief scare when, after ignition was first
achieved following the car's long winter's nap, the engine rev'ed
itself much higher than expected. Investigation showed that a
throttle return spring had inadvertently become unattached. No
further problems were encountered and the remaining activites
proceeded as planned.
Today was a cold but otherwise excellent day.
