Greetings,
I finally managed to get back on here to say hello.
I run an Imported car repair in Upstate NY. I've been brought up on triumphs, and a 71 Spitfire was my first car. Prior to that time, my Brother and his friends had sportscars that I soon learned how to work on. A 72 MGB, Datsun Roadster, 240z's, amongst others.
My first memory of such sportscars was when I was 4 yrs old. My second cousin(some of you may know him; Robert Koval)had a 63 TR-4 that we got to ride in, to go to a local farm for corn.
As of last year, he has given The TR to me. Needlss to say, I was shocked, but extraordinarily honored to be considered only the second owner of this virtually perfect car! BTW, it has nearly 1/2 million miles!!
Between times I have had countless triumphs, a Bugeyed Sprite, Datsun roadster,etc. Fortunately, years ago, I talked my Mother into purchasing a TR-250. She used to drive all of our cars, but I was never able to find the time to restore it. The 250 is now tucked away in the back of my shop awaiting it's turn. She also has given that car to me, which will remain in the family.
Currently, I drive a 85 Lotus Esprit Turbo, which is fairly modified, and a 87 Porsche 924S. Everyday winter work is conducted by a 97 Toyota Landcruiser w/ diff locks.
As time permits, I will try to contribute as much as possible. I also have started to incorporate a series of 'curiosity' pictures in my two websites. Pics of the Lotus, etc, can be seen here Esprit Performance I will be adding pics of the othe cars I have, especially the TR-4.
Thanks for the welcome!
