I have been a member of the TR Drivers Club since I (stupidly) purchased the Teabag off Guru Ed back in 1989. Typically, I have received much ear with regards to the "Driver" part of the TRDC, wishing therefore that it was named TR Owners Club instead. I degress. Recently, now that I am an owner and almost a driver, I started to attend the local meetings again. It was there that I realised that several of the blokes there are also "Owners" as their TRs are in various stages of death and rebuild, and thus I should not feel bad that the Beast is temporarily deceased.
It was there I also met a bloke called Guy. Guy has had half a dozen TRs, several of which he has fully restored himself. His expertise happens to be V8 engines. He is also the club's Grinnall Registrar. I thus challenged him to give the Beast life! It was thus on Sunday 9th October that Guy and Mrs Guy popped around with an enormous toolbox and heads full of technical know how. An hour later and the Beast was reborn!
I have the points distibutor back in with the electronic one staying firmly on the shelf. Simon and Paul are taking bets on how long it will take me to cock it all up again! I am now on the hunt for another points distributor so that Paul can have his back. (I hope you are a little happier this morning BTW as you appeared not to be looking forward to the drive back down south). The white flag has gone; this bloke sums up the mood perfectly...
