Good day everyone and have a safe and happy Canada Day! We are so fortunate to live in the best country in the world where we can, as our motto states, Preserve and Drive our Triumphs. Over the past 18 months it’s been all about preserving our Triumphs and talking with Fred and Laura over...
Good day everyone and welcome to June! Here’s hoping that the provincial restrictions will be relaxed sufficiently very soon so we can announce a few local drives. Talking of which I am pleased to report that we have four teams ready to lead you on drives in different geographic areas across southern Ontario. They...
Good day everyone and welcome to May Day! I’ve managed to get the TR250 out and about for a few drives since the roads became salt free which has been a wonderful release for both of us after the long winter. I’ve also washed, polished and waxed ALL my cars so they are looking like...
