Tinman Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hi all, I often look in this forum as a memeber of the register its a great place to get information and help for all our car problems. What I find odd is that nobody ever seems to be positive or just post how well their car is running or invite people to ride out. I can't be the only TR6 owner who actually drives his car, I know some cars are just trailer queens owned by anoraks but not all I'm off to Le Mans in a couple of weeks in my 6 with the ROBIN HOOD KIT CAR CLUB. why are'nt I going with the triumph club Tinman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha206 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Could it be we only post here when we're having problems? The rest of the time we've not got time to post cos we's all out driving our TR's...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianhoward Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Tinman Just read Iain Rollo's posting - he certainly doesn't have any problems with his TR6 - only his bank balance has problems after that lot!!!! Stunning looking example! Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stunning looking example! Regards Just have time to post this very quickly this morning as we are about to set off for the I.O.W in the 6 and bugger the rain. Now we will find out if (wonders will never cease) the 6 is now watertight...Ho Hum.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ron Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Tinman, I don't think any of us want to push our luck and claim the car is running well, you know what will happen then Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Whiteley Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Human nature Tinman If you buy something and you're really pleased with it....how many of us actually bother to phone up the company to thank them for a great service and product? But we'll all be straight on the phone if there's something to complain about! On the polishing side....I have been known to do that myself and certainly take pride in having a fine example of the marque....but my main reason is driving the beast - I really don't see the point of just trailering it around to shows and not driving the hell out of it as often as possible And I'd love to do some tours sur le continent etc but it's family commitments ya know!

Iain Rollo Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Just have time to post this very quickly this morning as we are about to set off for the I.O.W in the 6 and bugger the rain. Now we will find out if (wonders will never cease) the 6 is now watertight...Ho Hum.... Talk about pride before a bloody fall. On the way back from the IOW this afternoon we had an extended break at the side of the M25. Traffic was horrendous and the temperature switch for the Kenlow packed in and took the fuse for the fan with it GRRRRRRRR. Still the nice man from the RAC had a spare fuse and a bit of wire to jumper the switch and we were on our way again. Oh and the car was very nearly watertight...No more wet right leg (hooray) but two small dribbles in the bottom corners of the screen. Still wouldn't be a proper TR without a bit of water getting in somewhere. Iain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
