My Triumph

Well, after not driving my TR6 for about a year, I went and unbarried it from storage since there is a show this weekend. You know what, with all the talk of how the British cars are unreliable, the car started right up on the first crank after I rehooked the battery up. My car is 100% original, but over the winter I think I am going to do an engine tear down (getting a little tired, plus the original clutch is about shot).

I almost had one given to me. They are neat little cars minus anything electrical. Yours looks really nice.

tr6 = sexy time!
i like, but it'd look better in white with GIANT tires and a v8. ![[Image: 114_1405.JPG]](http://iammike.org/pictures/autox/2004_09_11/114_1405.JPG) ![[Image: 114_1403.JPG]](http://iammike.org/pictures/autox/2004_09_11/114_1403.JPG) ![[Image: 114_1404.JPG]](http://iammike.org/pictures/autox/2004_09_11/114_1404.JPG) i hope that's a tr6. oh, and i still beat him in an awfully prepared (at the time) civic on street tires. weeee! edit: but i bet he pulls way more bitches... when he's not waiting for the tow truck to pick him up. weeeeee! kidding on all fronts. i love british cars, but like boats and babies, i'd much rather someone else have one.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Scott that's a great looking TR6! What year is that? 74-5ish? My mom has a Triumph Orange TR6 that I'm eager to rebuild one of these days. I think I'll have to buy stock in Moss Motors first....
They are fun cars. That straight 6 sounds awesome and it has some great body lines (with the top down...).

I think I'll have to buy stock in Moss Motors first.... It's a '76 (last year), I have a set of Webers that are going to go on it at some point (with the engine rebuild). As for the side, the TR6 actually feels at lot more roomier than the Miata, and the straight 6 is a sweet motor
