    Yup, I periodically stray off the reservation and comment on auto-related subjects not specifically related to LBCs in general or Triumphs in particular. This is another one of those instances…sort of. Any reader of the blog is familiar with periodic commentary on modern vehicle styling. Anyone who has observed US and foreign vehicles the past

    Another week, another road trip, in this case to Bowling Green, KY; sad to say, a funeral for a family member provided the impetus for this particular travel. I will say I did the standard watch for LBCs on the drive down from St Louis but, with the weather marginal at best and steadily wet,

    Hear ye, all ye SLTOA faithful. If any of you put this type of wheel on your car, a tribunal shall be called and you will immediately lose your Triumph card.

    I tell you, the last couple of afternoons have provided the perfect driving weather and I hope others in the club – or anyone with a convertible, for that matter – took advantage. During last night’s patrol I saw a large number of vehicles with their tops down. The majority were the usual contemporary fare

    Back during the late 1960s when I got interested in sports cars and racing (my family was stationed at Grand Forks AFB at the time; I was about 14-15), Road & Track magazine and Competition Press & Autoweek served as my primary sources of information. In fact, I remember reading R&T’s review of the brand

        Darn good meeting of the St Louis Triumph faithful last PM, including the election of a new slate of officers to take the club through the next two years. Otherwise, event planning continues – Including the run-up to the Horseless Carriage Club of Missouri’s annual Easter Concours at Forest Park in about five weeks

    Oh, and another thing…in the summary of cars/drivers which participated in the 2014 edition of Polar Bear a couple of weeks back, I unfortunately missed our duty Detroit heavy metal: the Corvette of John the Marine. As always, his presence livened up the festivities…

    Well, the last couple of days (it’s Monday night) have actually shown that spring may in fact be on the way, absolutely great driving weather. Then again, being the Midwest, we’ll see a return to cooler temps, rain and possibly some snow on the morrow, but this too shall pass. Hopefully some of y’all managed
