Hello There By .a1 DobJ Greetings _fora 1989. I hope you had a great holiday season. I did. I have many great meaories from the end of 1988. Things are going at a frenzied pace now. The Trumpet is going through a mid-life trauma now.

For the past 11 issue, we have used Franklin's Printing of Snellville. As you may know, I took a trip (more later) at Christmas. When I returned, I found the printers had closed up shop in the middle of the night and fled the cityl It's been two weeks now, and the windows are still boarded up, I don't think they are coming back.

I found a new printer that would give the same speedy service as the old ones and I aade arrangements with them to publish this edition. One hour before the gang got together to put the January edition together for de­liver to the printer the next day, I learned that this print shop was raided for drugs and closed up as well. Oh, well.

I still have one more avenue to pursue. If that does not bear fruit, steve, Lori, Pete, and myself are going to man the photocopiers for a least this first edition of the new year. I try to look on the bright side at least. only 11 more to go after this.

I, am helping Steve and Lori put the final plans together for the 1989 Southeastern Regional that we are going to host in Savannah. Things look great on that front. We will be sending out the brochures with the regis­tration fora in the coming weeks. If it gets to be towards the end of the month, I will send it along with the February edition of the newsletter. s t eve will begin to write articles about the regional starting with the February newsletter, so be looking for them.

Also please note that we will try to have the February newsletter out by the first weekend in February. I plan to leave for New Orleans (and Mardi Gras) that weekend, so I want to have it out by then. We are going to try to make the first weekend in each month our publication date for the rest of 1989. With a little luck, we can do it.

Letters Dear GTA Folks Please ... nota the change of address. Yes, we have moved to Florida. Niceville in on the bay near Destin and Fort Walton Beach in the panhandle.

I enjoyed the few functions of the GTA which I attended, especially the friendly fellowship with other Triumph owners. I also have enjoyed newslet­ter and want to continue to receive it. My thanks to Dennis, Hal, and oth­ers who have made it happen. As a " "distant" member, I will miss the live " "shop talk" at meetings, etc. I would like to see regular technical ar­ticles for " "Non-mechanics" like me.

I hope you all have a happy holiday season and a good 1989 .

TRIVIA TIME

This month's trivia comes" us from Daw Hagenbuch at the Roadster Factory. WhHe I was up there, Daw gaw me a tour of the facility. The topic of trivia came up and Daw suggested that we could walk., a parts bin, pick up a part at random, take a photo of it, and let you guess what the part was and what car it is used on.

So here is a pho" of Dave (bright eyed and bushy tailed) holding the mystery part. See if you can guess correctly what It is. I wi. tall one and an at the SuperBowl party the answer and I will also print the answer in the February edition of the newsletter. Good Luck.

My Vacation The Sequel

this ti.e last year, I wrote about .y horror story concerninq ay devastat­inq trip to New Orleans. I thouqht it only appropriate to repeat this new tradition with .y story about ay Christmas vacation.

since the National of 1987, I 'have been on the phone a lot with Dave Haqenbuch. Dave was active in the GTA several years aqo. Since that ti.e, he .oved his faaily north to Pennsylvania where he is oriqinally tro •• Dave took a job with Charles Runyan at the Roadster Factory.

Beinq the supplier of sportswear to the., I a. on the phone constantly with Dave. OVer the past year, we have beco.e qood triends over the phone. In Septeaber, I was to qo up to join hi. at a Buck.kinninq Rendezvous, but circuastance. prevented .. fro. qoinq. I think we were both di.appointed. In Noveaber a. we were talkinq Tee-Shirt., Dave .. de a co ... nt that he was qoi09 to be alone for Chri.t .... wantinq to qet away, I a.ked if he wanted .0 co.pany. He quickly aqreed, and the plan. were .. de. I would leave on Friday the 23rd .pend the 24th and 25th with Dave, and return and the 26th.

A. you know fro •• y previous writinqs, I purcha.ed a Renault Turbo ru~o. I put it in tbe shop for a once over, and when it received it's clean bill ot health, I decided that it would be ay aode of tran.portation to the Great North. with it packed with qoodies, I headed north at 8:00a. on Friday .orninq. The trip va. without incident and I arrived at Dave's door.tep at 10:30p •• Dave .. de the co .. ent that he heard the .tereo lonq betore h~ heard the car.

The next day we toured the local area. Araaqh i. a very .aall town. Beinq .y fir.t ti .. in a location like that, it was a beautiful .iqht. I did notice that it wa. quite rural. Do.ino'. doe.n't deliver. The Colonel live. over the aountain, and the Clown and the Kinq are .everal .. ny .ile. away. What it doe.n't offer in convenience, it .. ke. up in rural splendor. The road. screa. for car. like our Triumph. and while .y rueqo i. no slouch, I wi.hed that I had taken the TR.

Later in the day, we wound up at the Road.ter Factory. Dave qave •• a tour of the facilitie •• I .ust adait there are two thouqhts that came to .ind as I toured, the size and how clean it was. I it really aaazinq to see such a larqe inventory tor a .arque that has been out of production for close to ten years now.

Atter the tour, we pulled the Fueqo into the shippinq area to perform a tune up tor the return trip. Sacriledqe. ot sacriledqes, A Renault in Tri­uaphland. Returninq back to Dave's hoae we talked about Muzzleloadinq and Buck.kinninq, a topic that doainated the entire trip. Sunday eveninq tound us on the road in the Fueqo lookinq tor a re.taurant so we could fill our bellies with a splendid Chri.taas teast. Then di.aster struck (You don't think I'd be writinq this it it didn't). The FUeqo chuqqed and ca.e to a .top. We jumped out and opened the hood. Dave specu­lated that the tiainq jumped out and possibly I .iqht have lost ay tiainq

belt. Removing the distributor cap found a loose rotor. The locator tab that positions the rotor had sheared off . Having the old one in the car, we replaced it and closed the hood. How lucky we were to have my tools, and the old parts in the car .

Getting back on the road, our spirits were high, then it happened again, only a quarter. of a aile down the road. opening the hood again, we tound the same problem. Then Dave jiggled the distributor shatt and tound the culprit - worn- out bearings. Using electrical tape, we were able to slowly drive the car to Larry Moore's home. Larry also works tor the Roadster Factory. Atter two hours, and three or tour adjustments ot the rotor, we were in Larry's drive. Larry, however, was not home. Twenty minutes later he drove up. Larry loaned us one of his cars and we were on our way back to Dave's to dine on Sonny's Barbecue I have brought to Dave. (Editor's note: it you want to make Dave happy, send Barbecue.) I had resigned myselt to the tact that since I was not in a large metropolitan area, I would probably have to have a distributor tlown in.

Monday morning, the day I planned to leave, took us back to the Roadster Factory to try to tind a distributor. Dave's source books were there along with his Rolodex ot phone numbers to call. Nothing was open, so we had to wait tor the next day. Bright and early Tuesday morning we were back at the Factory. In short order I had a distributor lined up trom Atlanta in case we could not tind anything local. Dave began the task ot calling the local junkyards. We had learned Monday, there is no such thing as a new distribu­tor tor this car.

One th~ng I have tound out trom other car problems, the TR kind, was the helpful advise you could get trom Dave or anyone ot his compatriots at the Factory. Everybody tried to help us with suggestions ot where to get my distributor. From the suggestions we tound two in under 45 minutes. We got the part, went to the dead Fuego (That name sounds like a terainal disease doesn'L it?), and in titteen minutes the car sprang to lite.

The next morning, I was on the road, and just in time. Three hours atter I lett, they were hit with a very hard snowstora. I made the 800 mile drive in ten hours. When I got home I called Dave to thank hi. tor my vacation and to tell him I made it home sate and sound. Once again Hal goes on a vacation, and once again my car gives me tits . At least this time we not a bad as the last. Frankly I was glad to get the two extra days with Dave. It there was one other problem, it was that it was too short a stay.

On tascinating thing has happened because ot this. I recently made a trip to Dahlonga to visit Chris and Paula Gore. On the way up, a heater hose sprang a leak in the Fuego. Chris and I made the repairs in good time. While I was up Mike Elder called looking tor me. During the conversation he said in all seriousness " Why couldn't you have taken a more reliable car, l i ke your TR7 ? ". The times, they are a changing.

to manutacture new membership cards are wel l. So don't miss out on all the tun. 1989 looks to be a banner year for the GTA .

Pub Nights By Lori Conway and .al Doby G.T.A. Pub Night is held on the second Friday ot each month. We are now meeting at Koe's 'issa, located on Briarclitt Road, ott Clairmont Road , i n Atlanta.

Atter a lengthy diSCUSSions, We have decided to aove both the day and the location ot our Pub Night. Many people had told us that they would be more apt to co.e to our Pub Night it it were staged on Friday as opposed to Thursday. Since meabers would not be tacing a work day with it moved to Friday, the board agreed to move the date to the second Friday ot aach month. People also statad that they would preter a place that servad tood with less emphasis on drinking, so we discussed moving the venue to a place that was more tamily oriented. Generally, we have anywhere trom tour to ten people in attendance. Look around tor a tamiliar tace, or it you've never been, just listen out tor heated discussions ot blankety-blank British cars and that'll be usl

For those ot you who haven't aade a out. It's the pertect time to share tellow Triumph owners. Those ot us new taces.

Pub Night gathering in a While, co.e on a tew . . pints ot bitter" with your who are regulars would love to see some
