Heavy rain and strong wind, huh? Sounds like British weather to me -
ideal for British Car Week!
Actually, the weather over here has just turned nice. But how's this
for timing? I decided I can't afford a Triumph *and* a TSV, and one of
them had to go. I finally sold the TSV yesterday (hey, you didn't think
I'd sell the Spit, did you?) and this morning, the Spit broke down.
Gearbox died on me - seems like something to do with the gear selectors.
I have the TSV for another week until the guy that's bought it gets the
cash, and unless I can fix the gearbox by then, I'm completely car-less.
Groan.
