Perfect for Seattle, old word charm with dead reliability and will fit Bee.

The STs are sweet. Mine was a Sprint 900, in nightshade.  Never saw another one that color.

I love me some 1995-2000 era Triumphs, had a Sprint with the same engine- bulletproof and goes like stink.  The Tigers were the SUV of the lineup- so much fun!  Congratulations and enjoy the ride!

David, you are the star of Jalopnik today, take the rest of the day off.
Your childhood exclamations of glee. after all of the frustration, made me happy.

My expensive error is trying to move the newly rebuilt engine/trans of a slightly wrecked/frame damaged 2001 Accord to a 2003 Accord with a perfect body. I could never get the CEL or the SRS to clear,, and it never ran right, so I gave up and sadly junked both cars. The local Honda guy had the car for a month and…

Reviewing the wiki article on this car tells me I am not worthy to drive it.

David, you are a perfect madman, utilizing both left and right sides of your brain. This is an amazing review for a geek like me. Thank you!

Those were the days. I’m sure in 50 years Torch the 3rd will be asking the same question about this ad

One I remember from older VW Beetles is the windshield washer fluid squirter was powered by air from the front mounted spare tire. Washer no longer working? Add air in the spare. Brilliant.

Should have been a breeze.

Had to be my 1980 Plymouth Sapporo. That car was a thing of beauty to my 18 year old eyes. I drove the wheels off that car, and made many memories in it. 100hp rebadged mitsubishi, manual trans, with rear wheel drive. futuristic looking overhead console, and a drivers seat that fit me so well. Curves and straights…

An Audi fixed that for me. I’m 56 and had same issues, especially on my 1000 mi drive from PA to FL I thought my ‘12 Mazda6 was great, it fit me, but the last few trips were as you described. Tried a ‘15 A4 - I hop out in Orlando after only 3 intake/output stops and ready for lunch and beer and visiting!

Do you also go to the dentist and DMV for fun? I hate dealers, and their prey on emotion, and soon as a buyer’s rep appears they can’t handle a logical request.

Ha!

Whenever I see models in a cool (for the time) ad, like the Camaro/Corvette (I’m guessing representing mother/daughter family), I want to know where they are now, and the story of shooting the ad that day.

So if not free market, what is someone gambling that a buyer will pay his premium called? And per your definition, ‘removing unnatural influences to supply and demand’ (which by the way will not happen when buyers are willing to pay extra to be first or unique), what are auction results with limited supply ie your…

Had to be Baton Rouge to New Orleans at 5am in November following Hurricane Katrina. My company sent me to assist the local phone techs for two weeks. I drove from PA there and arrived Sunday night, and Monday morning came and the fog was very thick all the way to NO. Not really an unfamiliar circumstance, EXCEPT on…

My 1977 Plymouth Sapporo was the wingman who attracted a girl outside a grocery store near Camden NJ.
She was looking at the car and we started talking, I’ll never forget her fingers running gently over the opera lights before I asked her out. Good times.

Triumph, cool band, overshadowed by Rush. Also older cigarette brand, haven’t seen either in years. Also lost a Triumph Sprint triple in the divorce and want a Stag or TR6 in the garage.
