The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

After a night out at the Welders ball, all tuxedo and rigger boots, I will never mix my drink again, Plymouth Gin has left me wrecked, I better not drive today, Merry Christmas???

Ah. a huge welcome to my annual bout of christmas cold. Fabulous.

I really want an XJS, with my dislike of electrics, this is not a great plan I feel.

Did someone mention Christmas fever?

Alternating hot and cold temperature, aches in places I never realised could ache, brain feels like it's inside-out and unable to retain anything I vaguely attempt to digest. Bah humbug

You wouldn't believe how much time I wasted trying to get a shot with an over-run flame in it. Shame that when I did, there was a bloody great truck in the way. Think I saved it.
Not bad for an xbox game I think!

On topic: that's awesome Oli!

I got a thumbs up and a big grin from the driver of a Mk II Escort all done out in rally colours last week, not more than half a mile from home. In all my years and hundreds of thousands of miles driving Triumphs in the South East I've never seen that. I do like this corner of the country.

Shut my left index finger in the back door of the van. The same finger that I cut through the nail right down the middle, with a hinged metal bar dropping on it, bled for hours.
Allegedly, I'm right handed.
You'd never guess.

Dad found this 1970s petrol ration book for his Hillman Superminx today, unused as the crisis was averted at the 11th hour. Nice piece of memorabilia which fits nicely with the era of my own car.

Petrol tastes absolutely vile and now everything tastes of it

I wish spring time would hurry up and get here!

Try breathing in a "bit" of rust dust you just ground off, say, a radiator bracket. Numbs all sense of taste and smell. Now where did I put those safety goggles and my dust mask ...?
