current thoughts

Well, attended SCTOA meeting last night, left me feeling like I'm dragging my feet, Mr. Bryant picked up the TR6 from Guy & Mitzi, good show Mr. Bryant,( seems like a very likable person, but just makes me feel that much worst, really feel like I should have picked up the 69 from the guy in North Hills, but it was really bad off, but at least it was registered and running. So after almost two years of wanting I'm still in the same spot, well not quite the same spot since I have picked up most of the PI system. I planned to make the New Year's Day Drive. Will upload pictures of the parts I have so far of the PI system,(although I did make payment on the fuel pump cradle), which shows I have done something.

went to SCTOA meeting tonite, it was nice and Darnell went with me, which made it even better, thursday I'm to call Dan in Emeryville about his 69 TR6 and I still have to meet with Guy and Mitz about their 73, made a deal with a guy in kansa about a complete set of over rider bumpers 200.00.
well things keep moving right along, and hopefully I will have a car by June.

getting started




Well,
I'm finally getting started, or at lest it seems so, still haven't found the job I would like to have, or the TR4a but I have found a TR6 which it appears will be mine around the 5th of next month.
The car is a 73 TR6 shipped as Carmine red, will post pictures once it is officially mines. it's funny that when I started on this road I wanted a TR6 then after doing some investigating I decided on a TR4,( the IRS model), then saw that there was a TR250 and now I'm full circle at the TR6. if this does happen, will be painting it jasmine yellow and installing the Lucas PI,(petrol injection) system to give it the Euro effect.
