triumph

 

Many times in my travels I come across a sight where you want to ask someone "why?"  In Floydada, atop a 20-foot pile of dirt, is perched a Triumph.  I know it wasn't driven there but rather placed.  Why?  In 1965 I would have died for a British racing green TR4A convertible with 2.1-liter, 104 bhp four-cylinder engine with dual carburetors, four-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension and hydraulic front disc brakes.  Alas, in 1965 I was driving a 1959 green Chevy 3/4 ton pickup with 4-speed manual transmission-- my friends cruised in a Chevy 409 or an Impala SS or a red Mustang.
