Hey, only 20 hours and 26 minutes from here. [:D]
Probably a bit longer for you Merv.

Unfortunately my summer calendar is full.

That's not a Vitesse, it's a Sports Six! At least, I thought they were badged 'Sports Six' for export to the Americas.

Great photos Clay and I would certainly be interested in that Mayflower. I'm interested in them all really but it will be nice to get some video of the more obscure models. Hope there's more than one Stag though!

That doesn't look like an export model, the steering wheel is on the wrong side.[:D]

I recall some pretty amazing Triumphs at the 2000 VTR meet in Portland. For me, the real treat was Kastner with Brock's TR250K, but there was a variety of obscure models, too. I wish I had the time for either of these gatherings, or the All Triumph Drive-in. I will be at the Portland All British Field Meet in September.

Only five hours Jim? That's just like a trip from where I live to Canley in Coventry for me. <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

Just realized I may be the closest on this forum. Unless someone from Denver pipes up. About two hours with light traffic on I-70 through the tunnel.

OK, I live in Los Alamos, it's a nearly straight shot up US 285 north, about 5.5 hours, if there's no snow! :-)

There are 3 TWOA members closer than you Shawn, don't know their names, just have pins on a map for them...

I know the tunnel well Shawn - in January it's always clear of snow on the Denver side but when you emerge the other side there's six feet of it!

Looks like I'm going to be investigating getting to Albuquerque to cadge a ride up to Breckenridge because I think that is too good an opportunity to miss. It should also provide some nice wedgie filming opportunities. Shame Monument Valley isn't en route though! So Jim, if there are going to be two spare passenger seats for us then I'll see if it's possible for us to get to you for the drive up if that's okay.

Yep, let's talk offline. I'll email you in a minute.
