Someone commented how a "conversion kit" put new pep in their brother's =
TR3.  What kit does something like that?  I think it was Alex.

=20

Regarding 'the gift of a Triumph- I don't see anything ridiculous about =
this thread.  I think we all need to think ahead; what can we do to =
instill our hobbies on to our grandkids' generation?  Personally, I =
strike-out here and am bankrupt.  Our family legacy included passing on =
keepsakes like silverware- what does the present generation think about =
it?... They 'could care less'.  Am I right or wrong?  Somebody help me =
here...I hate being so negative.
