veni, vidi, volver

[Guest]

This is insane. Went to great lengths to buy a set of 12 valve spring lower collars from a really large vendor. Spoke to their tech department, looked at their catalog simultaneously with the salesperson, he went to the shelves to find the part and held it in hand, told him I needed it yesterday, paid for 2nd day air, they came in......and were the wrong part.

Alas, poor Yorick!

Looking at the time post on these messages it looks like the roosters in some parts of the country have a sleeping disorder!

Bill, If the part numbers were correct on the package it must be that your car is wrong. Sorry, just thinking what the reply might be when you call them back. :crazy:

"Triumphitis" or or the more incidious form, "Triumphosis"

Hey, is anyone working today? Please get back to work and maintain the economy so I can retire soon!

Uh, Frank?

Ain't it like 9:30 AM Friday in the Philly region?
Yer boss know your're spending his $$ buzzing around on the
internet??

Disengage and start stimulating the economy so us
retired workers can get back to having another lazy day.
Soon, heading out to Cabo Rojo beach for a weekend of food
and relaxing.

Now git to work!!

Dale: You love to rub it in.

You know, Triumphitis, for sure; Triumphosis -- maybe
would have been second-guessed -- till the Roosters
called the cops on me.

Think yer right. This is a long-lasting condition,
I fear.

Have noticed this in the past. Dr. Bill is a very early riser. I'm up at 5 but he's on the puter at 5:30

According to Medical.Merriam-Webster.com, Triumpitis is inflammation caused by repetitive tightening of perpetually loose nuts and bolts on any and all Triumph automobiles.

Triumphosis is the abnormal or diseased condition of the human being - usually the males of the species - that begins the very first second the subject sees any and all Triumph automobiles and thinks "I MUST have that!"

Secondarily, Triumphosis is also the increase or formation of any and all things Triumph automobile related in the garage and/or home of the previously mentioned subject.

Ok, maybe not exactly......

 

[TR4nut]

So, hypothetically if you are a perpetually loose nut, and your garage is bursting at the seams with more parts than you will ever use, does that mean you have both conditions? I might need to see a doctor.

Randy, I recommend Dr Bill. He fully understands the conditions.

Randy,
If you have any extra parts that will fit a Mk3 spitfire I would be more than happy to help relieve some of the pressures of your condition. Keep in mind that this relief would probably just be temporary, though the parts removal would be permanent. Any parts removed will be replaced by other, larger, and more expensive parts. The universe likes things to bloom and grow, especially maladies such as ours.

You guys are in rare form, indeed.

Could we entertain the factoid that actually any one
of us could be actually suffering from
Triumphopsychoses, in which we are actually presenting
two separate and distinct personalities at the same time;
i.e.:

Honey, no, I don't know who ordered all these
British car parts. They just showed up at the front
door...

or

I couldn't have possibly spent that much money on our
credit card, Honey. That's way over our limit!

The concept of separating one from reality is quite
common, I believe, in the British Auto Arena.

This condition could take more than nominal intervention.
Resort more to driving than taking to drugs or alcohol,
if possible.

Nice job, guys! You're all goofing off while I was working my butt off all day!!

 

[DNK]

Hey,I resemble that!
I drilled 3 1/2 hole in the diff flange for the new shaft before I snapped off the bit. Also dropped the girls softball stuff at school then picked my son up from his school drove home and caught up on the forum before I drove back to pick up my daughter from practice.

OK I admit it. I goofed off :laugh:

 

[Brosky]

Don,

You were too busy to be goofing off...

I'm talking about island guys and fishin' and stuff like that.

 

[DNK]

Paul- That's a givin
