I did! I did! I didn't drive the Triumph, since it's perfect Tiger weather. 64 degrees and overcast in the Nation's Capital, which is about as warm as it can be and drive the Tiger while wearing a suit and not lose five pounds in sweat.

It's going to 80 degrees tomorrow -- I'll take Greenie tomorrow!

Yay!
 
Drove the Europa to work today (and have been doing so regularly for the last couple of weeks).

Its been kind a chilly here lately in New England - barely breaking the 70 mark.

Vroom vroom!

Still refurbing my TR3. But that's the plan -- for next Summer!
 
Took my BE out just to run to the store. I'm still unsuccessfully trying to drive it without really putting my foot into it. But man, it sure is fun. About 2500 miles on it this yr since the new engine installation(Don't tell my ins com).
 
My 8, with it last few remaining lucas issues, went to the body shop for a new coat of paint. This is just in time to avoid the MOnsoon season we are experiencing
 
I drove my trusty Riley Elf to work, as I usually do every day. Since the Stag is gone, I don't have a running Triumph.

not me ,98 degrees, but I will take a spin this evening.
 
We have not been out with our TR6 since last Friday because of the heavy rains since then. Many of our favorite roads were even washed out.

However, the sun is out today and I need to run some errands to run and we will be making a trip to a friends BD party near Devils Lake on Sat. Probably a drive on Friday evening as well.

Over 2000 miles in the last thirty days or so.
 
Not me either...

Fagin is at the shop getting front end work on steering bushings and alignment. I dropped it off just before I left for a Caribbean Cruise, and the part was not in yet the day after we returned. But then, it has been gray and rainy here since our return, so I hope to get to pick it up tomorrow. Then we will hit the roads hopefully without the front end shimmy.
 
Well Folks;

Its Wet, Cold, etc etc here in NE PA:

No TR4A, LBC or 356; "Yet"!!

Gone Shopping for one:

Took my new Spit Mk2 out and about today. First time I've really had it out for an extended drive since I brought it home on Sunday!

Drove to Concord, but didn't see RobT's Europa /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

That Europa must be a blast to drive! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif

Yes indeedy. A blast to drive, but completely impractical (impracticality is half its charm - minivan anyone?).

Also being 6' tall I do get a few chuckles from bistanders when I'm trying to get out of the thing. But I don't care - I'm having fun!

I drive my Elise on a daily basis -- I know *exactly* what you mean!
 
I did too! Today we had the first sunny day in months (honestly - something strange happened to our summer and it forgot to turn up!). I had to move the TR out of the garage because I needed to do some paint work repairs on my wife's Golf. Of course it would be bad to just reverse out and not warm up the engine properly, so I just had to take it for a drive. We are forecast sun for the next two days!!
 
I drove my TR3A in to work today. Since my MGTF is awaiting a body tub rebuild (dry rot and termites), the Triumph is my only car, ergo a daily driver. Its a tough job, but somebody has to drive a Triumph daily.

It was in the parking lot behind Monument Square in Concord Center. Even so its easy to miss as it is overshadowed by every other car in the lot. My office overlooks the square - often if I hear an intresting exhaust note go by I'll look up and spot the car, but didn't see the spit. I'll be sure to wave if I do!

Rob.
