Triumphs
« on: June 15, 2011, 10:23:41 AM »
Just want to let people in the Fargo, ND area that there is a regional British Car event being held the 16th through the 18th of June at the Hilton Garden Inn (near the airport).  I will be there in my Green 1960 TR-3A.  Look me up if you can get there.  There should be about 150 British cars of all makes and models, and the Aircraft museum will be open for visitors as well.
Sorry if this is off topic, but I wanted to get the word out to as many people as possible.

Had a Triumph back in the 70's, worst car I ever had. Like an old Harley it runs good or it doesnt run. And come on do the Brits realy think that the floating ground was a good Idea

The parts stores in Fargo, ND are gonna make a killing on Oil Dry that weekend!  :rofl


<---- Triumph guy myself (actually an odd mix of Triumph, Honda, and Corvette actually  :huh ), have had a half dozen Spitfires and a GT6 Mk III. First car I ever drove was actually a '59 TR3, belongs to my uncle. A sad thing the way I ground those gears in that non-synchro gearbox. He let me drive it around the neighborhood where they live in Greenville, SC. I was 13. The hook was set.  :rock

Oh yeh, MG's suck.  :P

first car I owned was a '67 Spitfire MkIII, third was a '62 TR4, done about 190k and would still happily cruise at 100mph all day long. when the starter motor died I was too broke to replace it, so drove it for 6 months without. I had to park facing downhill with space in front so I could bumpstart it myself downhill :D
