Someone near me has got one of those.
Sounds like a 2 stroke.

Out for a lovely drive in the countryside today ...stop off for lunch. When we come out of the car park...we've been joined by another!

Then a bit later I got a big cheery wave from a driver of a TR3a.

Yes, it could well have been me. I popped in to get a few bits and pieces last weekend.

Did you know there's a bloke on the staff who has set his heart on getting a Dolly as a first car? Though he's now wavering towards a Toledo after I told him how much less he'd probably end up spending to get started...

There was a guy a few weeks ago who when I went into the vets (pets at home) was having a good look from at my TC from a distance while he was working on a car. Don't know if that is the same guy.

We could do with a few more local cars :D

You bet. We could have a meet up in the Bricklayers or Hospital Arms or similar :D

Think he may be the same guy. Rare for the Halfords people to take a good look at anything, especially customers :mrgreen:

Really nice young guy. He was saying how nice the Triumph in the car park was a few weeks back, so I let him have a look and start her up. He was really keen on the engine: "That's a really English noise".

Once we get a good crew Ben, we can go solo on club meets, but saying that at the Hurdlemakers we meet with Club Triumph. Who are a very nice bunch indeed. Your more than welcome to come :D

I'd love to, but the last Weds of each month means I have to be at a parish council meeting :(

Some months, I know where I'd much rather be :D
