Back coverJANUARY EVENTS:6: Board meeting, Royal Oak13: Member Meeting, Royal Oak24: Year End Party, Sterling HeightsDetroit to San Diego in a TR6Paul Doolittle Goes West in Search of a Respray for his TriumphI bought my first (and only) 1976 Triumph TR6 in New Orleans in 1998. Ever sincethat time I’ve been gradually fixing the mechanical stuff on it, but was waiting until I hadthe time and the money to restore it cosmetically.I’m a Commander in the Navy and I was transferred to Selfridge ANGB from SanDiego in 1999. During my time in San Diego, I got to know a really good Triumphmechanic named Randy Zoeller, who did most of the work for the San Diego Triumphclub. He told me he could do a good cosmetic restoration for about $5,000. I kept thatfigure in mind and asked around the Detroit area what it might cost to do the job here.Everyone I talked to said the same work would cost around $20,000. So I figured, whatthe heck, it was probably worth it to drive the car back out to San Diego for the winterand let Randy go to work on it.I spent some time and money last summer getting the TR6 up to snuff. The fineshop of English Motors, up in Shelby Township, did a bang-up job of tuning the engineand replacing worn u-joints, and the car was ready to go by October. I planned totake the quickest route to San Diego. As a result, my trip would take me on the interstatethrough Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona andfinally California.Day 1: A Late StartI left my home in Beverly Hills on a Friday, a perfect fall afternoon. The weatherwas clear and warm and I kept the top down the whole way for 300 miles to Anderson,Indiana. The drive was great except for road construction in Jackson, Michigan. (Michigannatives told me when I moved here that Michigan has two seasons - Winter andContinued on page 2Above: Paul Doolittle parked his 1976 Triumph TR6 along the freeway shoulder to snapthis photograph of the car with the St. Louis Arch in the background.

They also told me theorange and white construction barrel isthe Michigan state flower!)DTSC Triumph ReviewPaul Doolittle is Westward-Ho in His 1976 TR6Day 2: Tulsa or bust!I departed at 0745 (that’s 7:45 a.m. foryou civilians.) Anderson, Indiana is about30 miles north of Indianapolis and I hopedto get to Tulsa or thereabouts by the end ofthe day. The weather had turned cool andcloudy so the top was up for a while. Aftera few hours though, the sun came out andthe top came down! The car was runningperfectly. It just hummed along with thatbeautiful six cylinder purr. I stopped inSt. Louis just to get the photo shot with thearch in the background, and then it was offagain.The Navy has moved me frequentlyover the last 20 years, so I’ve driven backand forth across the country a couple oftimes. But I had never taken I-44 throughMissouri and Oklahoma before, so thispart of the journey was new to me. Lo andbehold, about half way through Missouri Isee signs for the town of Doolittle. Neverknew a town was named after me, but itlooked kinda small, and being pressed fortime, I didn’t stop. I’ll have to see what Ican find out about it some other time.After driving on a little further, I sawa sign that told me I was driving on GeneTaylor Highway. Now therein hangs a tale.You see, Gene Taylor is a friend of mine.We went to College together and belongedto the same fraternity. Today he’s a U.S.Congressman (fifth district Mississippi.)So the sign prompted me to ring up mybuddy in Washington D.C. and ask himwhy an Interstate in Missouri was namedafter a good ole’ boy from Mississippi. Wasthis some typical bureaucratic screw-upwhere someone had mixed up the Postalabbreviations between Missouri and Mississippiand commissioned the sign inthe wrong state or what? Gene’s officestraightened me right out. There was onceanother Congressman from Missouri whohappened to spell his name exactly thesame way, and the highway had beennamed after him. Glad I sorted that out!In Missouri you start seeing a lot ofsigns for Historic Route 66. I got off theinterstate a couple of times to check it out,but quickly found out that trying to followthat old route would greatly impede myprogress. I hear that people are tryingto gradually restore most of the route,but unfortunately, much of the highway isalready gone.I pulled into Claremore, Oklahoma,the birthplace of Will Rogers, at about7:00pm, and then my adventure with“Motel Okie Hell” began:I needed a good night sleep after 650miles in that little car, so I found whatlooked to be the best motel in town, a BestWestern. It was probably the best motel intown, but I don’t think any other chain hasmade the effort to put a competing facilityin Claremore in the last 30 years. AsI was walking to the roomI managed to take a chunkout of my scalp when I hitmy head on the edge of theroof that came down overthe porch and I’m only 6’1”tall. That first room theyassigned me to stank of caturine so badly I had to askfor another one. The newone was marginally superiorin that it smelled like adead body. After checking under the bed(just to be sure), I figured I wasn’t goingto get anything better and resigned myselfto walking around the soaking wet spot inthe carpet whenever I needed to use thebathroom. I had several hours of sleep(about one at a time) being awakened regularlyby the nearby freight trains (a la “ILove Lucy” and “My Cousin Vinny” episodes.)Day 3: Next stop Albuquerque!So, after that refreshing rest, I managedto get a real early start (around 0930)and get back on the road through Oklahoma.It was another beautiful day andI was surprised at how pretty the Oklahomacountryside was; much nicer thanTexas, in my opinion. Tulsa looks like anice town to live in.In Oklahoma City I caught up withanother 1976 Triumph TR6! It was mimosayellow with Indiana plates and was drivenby an older couple. Does anyone knowwho these people might be?Well, after a few miles, we partedcompany and I continued on my way.Gradually the green Oklahoma countrysidebegan to give way to the “sagebrushocean” of west Texas and New Mexico.The TR6 continued to run perfectly.About 180 miles outside of Albuquerque,near Tucamcari, New Mexico, Ithought it might be a good idea to try totake Route 66 the rest of the way into town.I figured the highway would probably befairly straight and open with light trafficthrough the desert. Fortunately, a gas stationattendant warned me not to drive it,because the main bridge along the routewas out. Just another example of why travellingthe old Route 66 is not such a goodidea.I pulled into Albuquerque just afterdark and found a nice hotel. My wife’sparents were from Albuquerque so I knewa little about where to stay and where notto. The TR6 was still running perfectlyContinued on page 7Photos ©2004 Paul Diilittle

Page 4 January, 2004Driving a 1958 red TR3 again hasbrought back many thoughts of the 60s.In January, 1963, I graduated fromCody High School and started at HenryFord Community College in Dearborn,Michigan. I needed to drive to classes,so I started usingthe family Chevy togo back and forthto Dearborn fromDetroit, only aboutsix or seven miles.During thesummer of 1963, Iworked for an engineeringfirm inDetroit as a draftsmanand startedsaving my money formy own set ofwheels. Naturally, Iwanted a sporty carto get me to schooland back. I wouldread the want adds daily in the DetroitNews especially the “Foreign and Sportscar”section.Early in the fall of 1963 I came acrossan advertisement for a 1958 Triumph, asporty car to drive to college. As I remember,I paid $650 to a man who had boughtthe TR3 second hand and had driven itregularly around town.It was red and “very cool” and that’sexactly what I “needed.” I drove the TRall that winter; it did have a heater, but thesnow came in around the side curtains.Although it was fun to drive in rain orsnow, but it was even more fun when it wassunny, and on those days I would take thelong way home just to lengthen my drivetime. At some point I decided it neededa racing stripe, so I taped a white stripedown the hood and trunk.In the summer of 1964, I felt that mylittle car needed a new paint job. I had afriend with a spray gun and compressorso we waited for a nice sunny day andproceeded to spray the car outside on thelawn. Remarkably, the paint job came outquit nice for us first timers, and I thoughtthe car looked great.I continued to drive the car until Iwent away to Northern Michigan Universityin Marquette and concluded that theUpper Peninsula was no place for a littlered sports car. It sat in our drivewayfor that year until I came home for thesummer. Driving in the summer of 1965,I remembered why I liked the car so much,it was great to cruise with the top off in thesummer sun.After setting for another winter athome in the driveway while I was awayat school I decided that it would be bestto sell my little red toy to someone whocould drive it. I can’t recall the personwho bought it but I seem to rememberI sold it for around $400. If only I hadknown then what I know now.After that, there were many sunnydays when I dreamt about driving my littlered Triumph with the wind in my hair andthe sun in my face. At least I had thosegreat memories.Fast forward to 2003. I am driving ared 1958 TR3 again because my wife Bev-DTSC Triumph ReviewMy First Triumph: Beverly Miller Surprises Jimerly decided I needed a special birthdaygift in 2005. Beverly starting looking earlybecause a TR in good condition might bevery hard to find. With the help of ourfriend Tim, she started searching.Several cars came up available butwere either too faraway or cost too much.Sometime in the earlysummer of 2003 shegot a call from Tim tosay he had found oneadvertised for sale nearLansing. After severaltelephone conversationswith the ownerand his mechanic, Bevand Tim decided to gotake a look.When they droveup to the farmhouse,there it was. A red1958 TR3 just like theone she had remembereddriving in 1963. After a thoroughinspection and a couple of test drives, itwas decided that this was the one.The plan was to wait until my birthdayin 2005 and keep this a secret, butluckily for me, our friend Tim spoke upand said, “life is way too short, give it tohim now.”I had been away and upon returninghome, Bev told me she had a surprise andwe were to take a mystery trip. Drivingwest towards Lansing I had no idea wherewe were going. When we started drivingthe back roads west of Lansing I reallydidn’t know what was going on.We pulled into a driveway, up to a polebarn, and Bev jumped out and said openthe barn door. When I opened the doorthere it was with balloons and a “HappyBirthday” sign on the windshield!I drove it home, taking back roads allthe way. I felt like I had traveled back intime to 1963. Every so often I still have tolook in the garage to make sure the TR3 isreally there and that it wasn’t a dream.I can’t wait for the warm weatherwhen I can be back on the road again inthis fun little car with the wind in my hairand the sun in my face. Thank you Bevand Tim!

DTSC Triumph Review January, 2004Page 7TR6 Up to the Task in Drive Across AmericaFrom page 2even after racking up another 650 miles.The car was holding up a lot better thanmy body, which was beginning to get alittle stiff. I also discovered that the leftside of my face was getting really sunburned;even with the sunscreen I’d puton. The Southwest still gets pretty hot inOctober and the heat was starting to takeits toll on me. Fortunately, the ComfortInn in Albuquerque was really “comfortable,”so I got a good night sleep.the South Rim. In Flagstaff I had to putthe top down again because it was just sobeautiful outside. Even though I was at anelevation of 7,000 feet, the TR6 still performedmightily. The speed limit on mostwestern portions of the interstate system is75mph and I had no problem holding mycar at 80mph plus, the same speed everyoneelse was driving.From Flagstaff, my route took mesouth to Phoenix. About 60 miles northof Phoenix I came to a complete stop fora major, fatal accident. Cars were parkedon the interstate for about an hour waitingfor the authorities to clear it. Of course,everyone got out of their cars and cameup to me to ask about the TR6, and thathelped to pass the time. Glad I was carryingwater ‘cause it got desert-hot and drythat afternoon. There’s a good view ofbetter shape than I was, so I knew my troubleswere almost over!Day 4: On to YumaNow the really scenic part of the journeybegan. The weather that morning wasabsolutely perfect. Crystal clear blue skies,about 72 degrees, no humidity. But I keptthe top up to ward off the sun. I discoveredthat unzipping that back windowreally helps the airflow; this was the firsttime I ever had the chance to do that.Once you leave Albuquerque youclimb up into the mountains as you headtoward Flagstaff, Arizona. By the timeyou’ve reached Flagstaff you’re at 7,000feet and surrounded by tall Douglas Firtrees. Along the way to Flagstaff you passthrough the Petrified Forest National Park.Interstate 40 runs right through it, so Ihighly recommend you get off and visit ifyou ever drive this route. It’s probably themost easily accessible national park in thewhole country.Flagstaff is also the jumping off pointfor the Grand Canyon. From Flagstaff itis about another two hours drive north tosome Saguaro cactus in this photograph.For your information, the only place inthe world the Saguaro cactus growsis in the Sonoran Desert of Arizonaand northern Mexico. Rememberthat interesting factoid when you playyour next game of Trivial Pursuit!The accident put me behindschedule and made for a long, very hotday. So I was a hurtin’ puppy when Ipulled into Yuma, Arizona (near theCalifornia border) about 9:00pm thatnight. I now know Yuma is one ofthe hottest places in the United States.It was about 95 degrees outside whenI checked in with the clerk at thefront desk. I started whiningabout the temperature, and she justlaughed because everyone there wasgrateful for the cool fall weatherthey were having after a summerwhen temperatures averaged about120 degrees. But at this point I wasonly about four hours away fromSan Diego and the car was still inDay 5: Destination San Diego!I woke up early since my body wasstill on Eastern time, and got right on theroad. I wanted to get through the lowdesert and into the cool mountains beforethe sun had a chance to start baking meagain. I started climbing into the LagunaMountain range, the last western mountainrange before you hit San Diego, atabout 10:00am, and the car was still runningperfectly. By the way, the heat hadvery little effect on the operating temperatureof the engine. The hot weather thermostatI’d installed kept the car runningat normal temps for the entire trip.I checked into my hotel at the SanDiego airport around 1:00pm and did alittle sightseeing by the beach before Idrove the car into Randy’s shop.Now Randy has the car and I plan topick it up next April. I don’t plan to driveit back, although I have complete faith thatit would make it. I just don’t want to riskdamage to the new paint job and chromeon the return trip. So I plan to trailer itback – with my own trailer, bought specialfor the occasion.Ain’t Triumphs grand?
