News and Noteworthy
The July Issue of the Marque is now available here online.
​The Marque is online thanks to our Editor, Bruce Clough, and all those who submitted articles. A report on the Cliffords June tour, and a tech article on the Swedish Triumph on not to mention several other articles. A light month due to TRA 2026 so expect a big article on that and the trip next month. The Marque has it's own web page so click here to access the Marque.
The July Issue of the TTR Bluebonnet is now available on their website.
From the Texas TTR folks:
Happy July, Happy Summer, and Happy 250th birthday, USA! Below is a link to the explosive July Bluebonnet, ready for your perusal. Have a great holiday weekend!
Bluebonnet Special Supplement - Triumph Tour to the Central Rockies
Each year since 2011 TTR Member Dave Smith has organized an extended driving tour open to driving enthusiasts eager to explore the open road with their Triumphs. This year the tour was 3,600+ miles to the Central Rockies.
The tour participants are known as the “Texas FOGs,” an unofficial subgroup of a broader nationally known organization started by Ed Woods of Western Pennsylvania called the FOGs (Funny Old Guys), with over sixty members from eight states. The Texas FOG Tours are normally about two weeks in duration and cover between 3,000 and 5,000 miles, visiting automobile-related shops/museums, air museums, national parks, and scenic driving sports car roads.
The trip is a test of endurance for the old cars and the not-so-young drivers. Below is a link to the article. We hope you enjoy reading about our adventure.
