Showing my current cars
As it's almost time to say goodbye to 2020, it is
also time to compile my traditional calendar for next year. Sadly, due to the
Covid-19 pandemic, I was hardly able to use both my road legal TR7’s for what
they are intended for: Driving! And all planned trips and tours had to be cancelled.
So not much kilometres were added to my TR7’s odometers in 2020. In total I
covered only 1360 kilometres in my TR7’s, of which 434 kilometres were covered with
‘t Kreng and 926 kilometres with the DHC. So from a driving point of view, 2020 is also a year that should be forgotten as quickly as possible! At least with
regards to my Triumphs. Contrary to the TR7’s, my Little Landy saw a fair
amount of extra kilometres due to the Covid-crises. Having a “crucial job”, not
being permitted into the office, and with various projects in progress, added a
few extra kilometres to the LaRo’s odometer!
But these pictures didn’t make it to the
calendar for 2021. And the few trips with the TR7’s didn’t supply
enough pictures for my 2021 calendar either. Luckily I was able to spend some quality
time on my current restoration project, the ’76 car. Resulting in a calendar which
is a mix of a few touring pictures of the DHC and ‘t Kreng, supplemented with
some pictures showing some of the work done on the ’76 car in 2020. Hopefully 2020 will be a better driving year!

Excellent calender Theo, what a way to show off your magnificent work on your TR's.

Thx Moe!
The calendar is just a personal project for the study wall.
And done done through a local photo service.
So you'll have to see it as a one off. Sorry!
