This issue is about traveling, because British Sports Cars were designed to be driven—not to be museum pieces that slowly decay from lack of use. Our editorial staff determined that their most memorable British car moments were often found on the road. This highly scientific conclusion evolved over many pints of ale, much laughter, and…
On the road with the 2005 California Melee Rally By Jeff Guzaitis Things just didn’t seem to go my way on the 2005 California Melee. After months of reviving a homebuilt special that hadn’t moved under its own power in 40 years, I was rolling onto a narrow shoulder amidst a cloud of steam and…
August, 1965. I was 8 ½ years old. We lived in Minneapolis, and my aunt had recently returned home from a road trip to Mexico with her boyfriend. She had described some of the places they’d visited, and all I knew for sure was that Mexico was far away and foreign in a vague way…
Blake Discher’s most memorable moment in a Triumph occurred just after he crossed the Continental Divide in the Colorado Rockies. He was on his way home to Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan in his TR6 after attending the 2009 Vintage Triumph Register (VTR) national convention in San Luis Obispo, California when he came upon a flashing…

Like me, you occasionally may find yourself facing a list of household chores that require attention but don’t necessarily generate much enthusiasm. They are the items that were put off in order to tackle more serious or significant projects. You know, the ones that take more time to prep than to do. I’m talking about…
A few days into 2013, a fellow car enthusiast from work asked me if I had seen the scavenger hunt article in the latest Moss Motoring. He and I talked about the challenge and calculated we would have some easy sign photos within a short distance, so we decided to do it. I told my wife…
As has been said before, Al Moss was a notorious practical joker. When we first heard he was putting his TC up for sale, I called immediately to see what was up. As the conversation drifted to the TC itself, I asked about its condition. Al’s famous last words (not literally his last words), “I’d…
Ginger, a 1977 Triumph Spitfire, has made many trips throughout the central United States. Because she is not currently happy to maintain speeds of more than 55 miles per hour for very long, we always travel on the back roads and byways. In the more than thirteen thousand miles we’ve driven Ginger since we took…
