[Christmas carols]

Not much of a carol reference, simply a reminder that we need to push harder, but "Moses coming 4th in his Triumph" is not the sort of press we're wanting! So, fellow celebrants, we need to up the ante a touch. Of course, we ought to remember that "O Come all Ye Faithful" definitely refers to "joyful and Triumphant" ... 

 

Try as I might, I too am battling to find reference to GT6s ... which does sadden me somewhat as GT6s are my first love ...

 

 

 

I was persuaded to go to my local bowls club carol sing along last night.

 

The first song was Hark the HERALD angels sing, and this line was followed by 'join the TRIUMPH of the skies'. I thought that I could enjoy the evening more if I could pull out some more relevant lines.

 

Ding dong merrily on high got another with GLORIA hosana in excelcis.

 

Then that was it, not a SPITFIRE or GT6 mentioned.

 

Could I have missed anything. At least it made the carol singing more entertaining.

 

Happy Christmas everyone,

[Show us you car]

Good morning all - I'm new to the TSSC, but not to the world of Triumph, having been involved with the (P)TSCC* in an old colony, far, far away! My two favourites are my first Triumph, a white '64 Spitfire 4, and a tasty '73 yellow (Mimosa) GT6 Mk3. Grumbles .... no longer have either!
 
Alright, alright ... around 1990 or so, I also thoroughly enjoyed my 2500 TC Mk2 automatic. Armed with some 'super-slip non-grip' General R-280 radials (yes, 185/80 13s), it was a surprisingly capable long-distance carryall. And did I mention driftable at the prod of a pedal? I digress ... 

 
Annoyingly, my '71 TR6 lives across the Big Water in the south of the US ... under the care of my retired dad for now. Long story there. The TR is a long way from perfect, though looks nice'n shiny when photographed, but was (is?) meant to be put through a proper resto sometime. Hah. To keep? Or to pass on in favour of my true wish - a solid GT6 Mk3 ... or probably better still seeing as I am getting soft, a Stag. (Heck, a forrin' V8 by Rover or a Triumph straight six also OK ... restoration to TV8 would happen in time). O the woes!
 

 

 

 

 

 

If I whip myself into a frothy of action, I'll scan in some more photos of Triumphs past. Need to find 'em first though! Somewhere ... somewhere ... 
 
*detective work, if the clue's not working for you!
 
Best etc etc,
