Drive your Triumph Day Feb. 10, 2019

Post by Martin Keller »

Hello Everyone,

Don’t forget that this Sunday is Drive your Triumph Day so get your Triumph out and take a photo of your drive / car and post it up so everyone can see it.
Also post it to this email address so the rest of the world will see it. DriveYourTriumphDay@gmail.com.

This event was conceived by Rye Livingston of the Triumph Travelers and I’ll copy a bit of the email he sent out here for you:

Dear Fellow Triumph Owner,

It’s time to make plans for Drive Your Triumph Day, February 10, 2019.

My name is Rye Livingston and I’m with the Triumph Travelers Sports Car Club in Northern California, which is celebrating our 60th anniversary.

As you may remember a few years ago, I encouraged members of our club to drive their Triumphs on February 10th, to celebrate Sir John Black’s Birthday, the man who organized Standard’s purchase of Triumph after the war, and went on to make the cars we enjoy driving today.

The first year about half a dozen members participated, and it’s been building momentum every year since. Last year I received about 250 photos from all over the world: Scotland, Ireland, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Uruguay, Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Canada, Holland, Czech Republic, and of course all over the USA. I’m hoping to double that number this year!

Hopefully the weather cooperates in your part of the world this year. You can take a look at pictures from previous “Drive Your Triumph Day” and get some more information here:

Have fun and drive safe and get those Triumphs out for a drive rain or shine.

Hi Stewart,

Yes that was me.
My office is in Fillmore and I was going home about 12 noon time frame.
I try to drive my GT6 at least once or twice a week to the office rain or shine.
