In a world that is overloaded with cliche, the events of the last week -
starting last Sunday - and
the stresses since then, all go to prove what really can be achieved with
"absolute teamwork." I am
truly and utterly amazed that in less than seven days, the replacements for all
the damaged parts
were located, shipped to where they were needed and then brought together into
a whole.
This achievement is, by any standards, utterly staggering and a tribute to
everyone who played their
part to overcome the misfortune.
I call you guys the "Works Team" because unlike a works team, you didn't have a
truck full of parts
on your doorstep. However, you all pulled together against the most daunting
odds and carried out
work that a Works Team would be proud to be associated with.
I salute you all with admiration, gratitude and complete amazement at what you
achieved in the time
you had at your disposal.
Thank you, SO much.
"uncle jack" looks superb and I do so hope that members of the Triumph racing
fraternity in the US
and Canada take time out to see what was achieved by all of you. I'm confident
as well that Jack
Drews would have approved to see his name associated with your handiwork. There
is a whole lot more
to say about this overall restoration - but it'll have to wait until I get the
opportunity of saying
it face to face with a raft of other people.
You guys achieved the impossible and though it did take a few days longer, you
performed a miracle
too.
Well done!
John Macartney
