Nope, Jerry - just wide, open spaces. I missed a picture with a cow with her head through the window (the car was top-up), licking the steering wheel (leather-wrapped, I guess - maybe somebody she knew?).
Hmmm...guess you gotta be careful where you step...and drive.

It's a good thing there were wasn't one of these in the herd

Ooohh....I see a Spitfire in that picture, too, Jerry!


Triumph was the featured marque at The Glen in Sept 2008. Let me know if you want to see more, Ruth

Ruth, Is that you driving? What year is that Spitfire - it has to be one of the very early ones? It looks just like my first car, which was the first year they came out.

Yes, Jerry, if you have more of the Spitfire, I'd love to see it. Some day I'd like to actually go to Watkins Glen in person. Dave, that IS me driving. It's a .... I think that was the '65. I currently have a race-prepped (partially, anyway) '66....looks pretty much the same as the '65. We're also getting close to finished putting together a Spit6 (Spitfire with GT6 drivetrain....or a convertible GT6 - whichever).

Triumph does have a long history of racing - pretty cool to see the pix - thanks, Jerry. Dave - very cool! How long did you have it?
