Hi All, Ian in Kelowna here. Old guy with an old car. Started with an MGB at 17. Had a few different years of them and this is my first Triumph. Rescued it from going to the wrecker in 2010. It sat out in the elements here in the Okanagan for years. The plan was to get it running and have some fun. Well that didn't happen and it sat some more. Got a new neighbor that crew-chiefed a Cascar team and has a classic car himself (that's his '67 Charger). One day, havin a coupla beverages on the deck lookin at the Spit and he says, "what's wrong with it?" "Doesn't run" I say. Challenge accepted and within 15 minutes she's running! Well now she's got a spot in the 'active' driveway and it's gettin nice out. THIS is going to be a fun summer!

Thanks JP. I see you had a 69 Vaux GT, that was my first car at 16! It's what I traded for my 70 MGB! I'll have to dig in some old albums and see if it's in there.

that I would love to see! There are so few of them - and fewer in Canada.
