This is a true story. The names have been changed to protect my brother. I'll call him Nigel for now...
Nigel took his wife for a ride in the TR250 last week. It's been nearly a year since her last ride. The TR has the common malady of limp sun visors. The Mrs focused on the visor as soon as they left the driveway. She continued to fiddle with it during the entire ride. Nigel recently converted the rear to tube shocks, poly bushings and adjustable trailing arm mounts. He was anxious to show off the improvements. She on the other hand was getting more frustrated with the lack of cooperation from the visor. Nigel powered through a couple of turns. She kept after the visor and yelled something about him trying to kill her. The final turn was one of his favorites. A tight left hander going up hill. Nigel powered through it like Stewart at The Glen. A few minutes later they pulled into the drive. Nigel noticed the passenger sun visor was missing? What happened to the visor? ....I don't know replied the Mrs. He chewed on her a little for the loss. She said she will never ride in that car again.
Having eaves dropped on my conversation with Nigel, she felt compelled to set the record staright. This is an excerpt from her email of a few days ago.
"Also, you did not get the whole truth from Nigel on the car ride. Since when its a Triumph considered a race car? NEVER! Since when does the passenger have to hold the visor? NEVER! Then he says watch this he goes around a corner which is 10mph at 50mph and woooooooooooooooooooooooo there went the visor instead of me out of the car!
Now that's the truth."
