Who is supposed to lighten up?
John, who declares on a Triumph list that he uses a Toyota gearbox, Miata

Or Lou, who is saddened by this wholesale replacement of Triumph parts with
Japanese parts?
I realize anyone can do what they wish with their car, but if sentiments
are expressed I have to agree with Lou.
