This may belong in the humor forum, but it is relivant to Triumphs. Just recieved this snipet of news through the NET e-mail list:

A man who compared a woman's anatomy to a carburetor won an annual contest that celebrates the worst writing in the English language.

Dan McKay, a computer analyst at Microsoft Great Plains, N.D., bested thousands of entrants from the North Pole to Manchester, England to a triumph Wednesday in San Jose State University's annual Fiction Contest.

"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual."

Lets hope he stopped at the carburetors shall we.

Hello Rob,
this is not the first time Triumphs and bosoms have been linked. The twin cam TR engine was nickname 'Sabrina' after the voluptuos film star of the same name. Why?, because of the shape of the two covers (side by side) at the front of the camshaft drive, were also voluptuous in shape.
