Where Did Everyone Go?
I know. Even 7 or 5 years ago it was still really hopping. I wonder whether
if the ISP not offering Usenet access is the culprit or if the air-cooled hobby dropped off that much? -- DAN MEDINA "timmyboy" > wrote in message ...

I have the Time-W service, so I use google groups. Man, the group activity now is nothing like it used to be 9 years ago! I'm not complaining- it was too hard to keep up back then. Tim |

As an update, I still have my '66 1300, but it's no longer used as a daily driver. Currently in hibernation in a nice, warm, cosy garage until the summer. I sold my daily driver '75 1303S last Jan, and decided to have a bit of a change so bought a '79 Triumph Dolomite Sprint! So I still get a chance to keep my fingers oily I guess my '66 never, ever goes wrong, but that's mainly due to the help and support I've had from RAMVA over the years http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/p...0883Medium.jpg |

My brother, Chris in Colrado, is a rock-climbing fanatic. I tried it years ago in a CJ7 with a 401V8. Exploded the clutch. Literally. Just because it bolted right up up didn't mean it was gonna work. BTW - OT, but I am buying Butcher Boy back next month. http://www.digoliardi.net/butcher.jpg |
