Ahh roadtrips in a Triumph; always an adventure.
I finally made it home to Oregon in my '76 fhc i purchased in Missourilast October (towed by a GM product). On the way i suffered a leaking seal in the intake manifold, flakey haeadlamp lift motor, headlamp switch failure, and the regulator overcharging the battery. The final straw was something with the carburators not having power off idle. It's hard to get on the freeway that way. Luckily that happened at my wife's parents home.
That all said, i put a new battery in at home and it started right up and moved smartly into the shop next to the '81 dhc hoping to be ready for the british car club meeting next weekend.
