Congrats! It's always great to hear when a long off-road Triumph is fired up
once again!

Gee, it sounds like you've had quite history with little british cars
(LBCs) and racing as well.

There's definitely room for you in VTR. VTR has a range of members from those
who actively race there Triumphs every weekend in the summer, those who autox
occasionally, those who drive their Triumph every day on regular streets, and
those who only use them for Sunday drives to car shows. VTR strives to be a
club for those who *drive* their Triumphs, even requiring participation in
moving events for all cars entered in the show at the national convention.
There is more info about VTR at "http://www.vtr.org";. I can also send you a
membership brochure if you send me your postal address.

Offhand, I don't know the number for this. I've forwarded your message to the
VTR mailing list, however, so maybe somebody there with more familiarity with
GT6s will be able to respond...
