Just doing the evening blog rounds and cleaning up the desk area a bit and I ran across a couple of photos. So, rather than the ongoing public exposition of trying to justify - no, make that define - my beliefs, which is ongoing because they keep changing in a grey-on-grey world, let's just slip back to, oooh, about 1974. Looks like a Sunday afternoon in sunny Belconnen ACT, maybe we could have trimmed the edges of the grass on the footpath. Or we could have gone and drunk some beer.
On the left, my 1970 Triumph 2.5Pi, post engine rebuild because it's got the second set of plates on it. On the right, a 1968 Triumph TR5 belonging to a housemate. It was the same colour as the sedan (dark blue). Today, the Pi in resaonable nick would be worth about $3000. The TR5? In similar condition, about $25000, as only a few were built and imported to Oz.
I backtraded the Pi on a warmed-over Mini K and he traded the TR on a Datsun 240Z.
Oh to be young and fancy free.
