4th of July parade this past weekend. My wife and I took the grandkids in the TR6 for a true parade lap. Happy belated 4th!

Nice parade queen wave you've got there, Greg.

Careful there big boy. You don't want to strain something with all that excess motion.

Great pics and looks like a fun time for the kids!

And, it is interesting to see a Triumph that will actually make a full parade lap, unlike any I owned (except bikes).

That guy on the motorcycle is definitely getting ready to make a move. Was that a parade wave or are you waving him on?

Great stuff.

Interestingly enough, that TR6 is one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. It can sit for four months without being touched and then it'll fire right up. Not even a battery tender attached. And it was hot on July 4 and it spent about 30-45 minutes creeping along the parade route at walking speed and the temperature only went up about halfway between the 1/2 and 3/4 mark on the gauge. I've never had any temperature problems with that car (knock on wood).

Definitely a passing signal. I like to practice my track skills on the street whenever possible... Including passing signals.

Very nice car Greg. That is called the Windsor Wave. Royalty!

My sister succeeded in trashing a brand new TR6 in a couple of years. It 'was' a beautiful car.

Sure, you have all of that new technology! I was "blessed" with a TR3......
