Good evening CT - wow this is my first post in over a decade & a 1/2, lost my Triumph mojo after many years of I'm never gonna finish it !!!

Funny its all come about by someone asking me this week about my old 2.3i GT6 racer, all the old stalwarts will know me from the TSSC/750 Motor Club race series in the late 80/90's I'm sure!!

Glad to be back on the Triumph block!!!

Good to see you back after all this time.

The forum has undergone a few changes since you were last about and with it went all the pictures, and you know how we all love a photo... :-)

Also, it is quite slow. But work is underhand to try to change it. 

I think it is fair to say and probably quite expected, but the UK Triumph scene has contracted somewhat.

However, a few stalwarts from this forum still post. So welcome back.

Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run: Part of the organising team, and honoured to be associated
RBRR is the best car event in the UK, not probably, it is!

1970 GT6 Mk.2: Royal Blue 6 RBRRs (98, 00,02,04,06 & 10, one failure 14), 2 10CRs (03 & 07). 2 HCRs 1 LCC, lots of Autosolos and numerous track days. Bought in 1983, crikey where did the time go! Lots of modifications, now fitted with a revvy 2000cc engine and she is going very well. GT6 are fantastic little cars that are very under-rated, mainly by people who have not driven one, its slow in and fast out!

1969 2.5Pi Mk.1: Slate Grey 4 10CRs (05, 09, 15 & 17), 4 RBRRs (08, 12, 16 and 187), 3 HCRs, 2 LCCs. A few alloy panels, does need the pi kit fitting. Bought April '04. Needs paint! Just fitted some new 7J Minilites-not copies! The car goes like a train on SUs, so why change! The car just sits and waits and waits and when needed is brilliant fun to drive. Triumph's best design? Impending engine and body work this (2019) Autumn and Winter.

1967 Spitfire mk2: Wedgewood Blue. Bought November 2010. Almost seems civilised. Car has done a RBRR (Dave Picton 2010). Back on the road since March 2017. Raw little car, but fun. Has lots of modifications, nothing too outlandish!

1970 TR6 Maroon. Bought May 2018. Since pruchase: Full suspension re-build, new clutch and propshaft plus re-built driveshafts. Goes well. Blimey, lots more done now, gearbox replaced (Canley Classics unit), 7J black minilites c/w Uniroyal tyres (Crikey, un-stickable), Revington's Targa springs. Now needs some engine work and some brakes. Otherwise, well on its way to becoming a Club Triumph type car, i.e. one that is actually used!

Previously owned:

Triumph Dolomite Sprint (Now owned by Paul Hughes)

Herald 1200 Coupe on mk2 chassis (Now owned by Jess Cook and being properly used)

Vitesse mk2 Conv: Sold in 1983, still on the road!

Various Citroens and Pugs

DD: Focus ST Diesel...torquey!
