Now some guys who own MGs tend to denigrate Triumphs.

I don't know why that is, particularly when there are pristine examples like this out there (I wonder if I should post this on the Triumph section?):

Gentlemen,

If you'll note the number of posts for the Triumph Forum, it appears that they spend WAY too much time talking about their Triumphs and not driving them... Hummmm, I wonder... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

Should I move the thread over there? hehehehe
 
Tony,

Let's keep it our little secret... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
I own both a Triumph and a MG. To start a good round of give and take, I'll state that a stock TR4 will out run and out handle a stock MGB. I like both cars for different reasons. But if I had to give one up it would be the MG. Mike

MikeH,

I currently own two MGs and an AH 100-6...and have owned many others over the years... Like you, I like them for different reasons... I have never owned a Triumph...

Although, a TR3 is on my list of next projects....

A friendly jab here and there is always fun... as long as it's between LBC affectionados... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
 
lol...great pic!
I love triumph's as much as my MG's....Especially the TR6's...Those things are a blast to drive!

Perhaps Triumph owners are able to multitask???

OOPS.. Forgot.. I am not a Triumph owner anymore /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I would say that TR7 looks ridiculous, but it is JUST a Triumph.

OOPs, forgot I own two of them /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I used to have Paul Coxon watching my back but now he's Rumphless /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Out-run definitely. Out handle, no, unless you are talking about one of those horrid Marina convertibles (aka RBB). The early MGB will outhandle a TR4 without much trouble. We see it all the time on the track and I've never had a TR handle anywhere near as well as my racing MGA (or brake as well but then I use 4 wheel discs).

It is easier to give an MG more power than it is to give a TR superior handling - and I say that having owned and raced both (probably a dozen TRs and many more MGs)
