Hello all-

New member here from MA.
I am pleased that after many years as simply a sideline anglo-enthusiast, I finally stumbled across an opportunity to fill the garage with some British motoring product.
The story is long- but the shortened version is: I now own a 73 MGB GT- as well as a 72 Triumph 650 Bonneville. Both gathered in one fell swoop. The MG is all there and was in mid paint prep, when in 97 it was simply left alone in a barn. Fortunately, for me, the car was not alone and did have the company of the Bonneville who also has all her original bits about her. Both WILL run soon and I will report about the restoration process as time goes.
I also acquired in my find, 2 TR6's that unfortunately did not share space inside the barn with the others and have subsequent damage to their bodies and interiors due to years outdoors. I just listed the Triumphs on the classified page for anyone interested. They are located in Rhode Island.
I look forward to sharing information as well as gathering intelligence from those of you kind enough to share when I become stumped at what to do next!
 
:savewave: welcome. Thought you were less than truthful. Rochester Massachusetts? I lived in Worcester County and never heard of Rochester. I guess I was the typical New Englander and only knew my immediate area and the Cape and Boston and the western parts. Shame on me. Rochester is for real!

Having admitted my stupidity, glad to have you on board. Photos please. With few exceptions, myself being one, all the members know LBC's and their workings and I'll wager you won't have a query that can't be answered!
 
Howdy Slim,

I used to travel all thru New England a few years ago & also never heard of "Rochester". I thought Rochester was only in NY State but I guess I`m wrong.

Anyways; "WELCOME" & Best Wishes with "ALL" Your projects.

Regards, Russ
 
Gentlemen- don't feel bad- when I moved to Rochester from the adjacent town a few years ago, I was telling my next door neighbo, a resident of that town for 25 years where we were moving and he asked "New York?.......New Hampshire?"
You get the point. It's a one horse town for sure- Thanks for the welcome!
