The 1974 TR6 of SLTOA’s own Iggy, at a local Schnucks.   Iggy said he was taking advantage of the incredibly great weather while also doing a final test drive in advance of tomorrow’s SLTOA Vet’s Day Run.   As if often the case with our LBCs, after he went into the store a couple of people came over and ooohed and aaahed over his Triumph.

I did my own test drive with the HSD later this afternoon, following a quick check of tires, fluids, belts, etc.   While at a Conoco up on Manchester a woman came up to me and stated she had a ’76 TR6 in her garage which had belonged to her late husband.   Prior to his passing he’d recommended she go ahead an sell the car, but apparently their 24-year-old son declared he wanted the car.   I provided her with info on SLTOA and strongly recommended she and her son join us at a meeting some time.

Then a gentleman pulled up in a Ranger Rover (“Hey, they’re both British!”), commented he’d formerly owned a TR3 and asked if I’d start up the TR8 “…so I can hear that V8 sound!”   I, of course, obliged…

Life is definitely good…and a lot more fun with a Brit car!    Now, let’s see what kind of turnout we get for the vet’s drive tomorrow…
