Re: Rumor has it that Jaybird bought a Triumph....

Theres 'bickerin', then theres 'ribbin'. 'Ribbin' is usually done with a smile like this /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif especially when your on someone elses turf.

Thus far its all been 'ribbin' as far as I'm concerned. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

So, to what should I change? I need something so folks'll know I'm ribbin'.

Re: Rumor has it that Jaybird bought a Triumph....

Actually I thought that the Scooby Doo laugh worked pretty well.

Re: Rumor has it that Jaybird bought a Triumph....

Nah, keep the 'hehehehehe' - I rather like visualizing you as Arte Johnson.

Barnhill, you gonna take that from Mickey? He didn't even add a 'hehehehehehe' on the end.

Re: Rumor has it that Jaybird bought a Triumph....

Janel - Mickey & I go waaaaaaaaaaay back - he's allowed much more than some will ever hope to attain!!

 

[jaybird]

Re: Rumor has it that Jaybird bought a Triumph....

I don't need to be allowed, I just take Arte. I mean Tony.

A few years ago when I was a manager at a large electric utility, I had two employees that were rabid Ford/Chevy fans. One hated ford and loved Chevies, the other loved Fords and hated Chevies. Their bickering got so bad and so heated that I had a filing cabinet brought in and placed between them so they couldn't see each other. If they hadn't both been top notch emplyees otherwise, I probably would have fired them for their constant bickering.

I hope the bickering on this forum stays at good natured, all in fun ribbing.

Having owned both makes over the years, I have my opinion on which is the best, but the bottom line is: they are both good. In the next couple of years, I'm going to have to make a choice between the two, and it will be difficult.

I agree with Dan,
I think both are great cars, although I've never owned an MG, I have driven them (my brother-in-law had a Midget) and know them to be very fun and sturdy little cars. Lots of B's in my local club too. Maybe someday I'll own an MG, but for now I have a Spitfire and love that little car. It is fun and handles great and its very easy to work on. I think what I like about the Spit is the Tilt-hood reminds me of my EType. Frankely I would not mind having both a Triumph AND an MG, but then the wife would probably leave me.

Yeah, but also an XKE. My point being, I like little British cars period. Despite my having a 67 EType, I don't look down my nose at any other LBC and still enjoy the Spit as well. They are both fun, just in different ways. Even my Daimler, which does 0-to-60-eventually, is a cool car, just not a fast car.

Re: Rumor has it that Jaybird bought a Triumph....

The Daimler is a very cool car!

Does she need a playmate?

Re: Rumor has it that Jaybird bought a Triumph....

Nice! It will be interesting to see what it fetches.

Re: Rumor has it that Jaybird bought a Triumph....

I'm not sure it's as nice as the exterior pictures make it out to be. Interior is trash, can't imagine the exterior being all that great, probably spidered at the very least. Chevy-powered, no under-bonnet pictures. IF it runs and runs decently, still a lot of money is going into restoring the interior and probably body (black is very unforgiving)

What's that car *worth* in good/very good condition?

I'm going to watch it too.
