Paul was very active on the Triumph Experience board when I was there 12 years back. Involved in discussions, etc. etc. He was last signed in on October 12, 2025. So that rules out my thoughts he might have passed. (There's a LOT of really old farts on TE.) Teglers site is still up for me. If it's not for you, it might be geoblocked if he's hosted his images on Imgur.  Six Pack forums is still there but the "home page" doesn't display the link clearly. You have to click on "Login" https://forums.6-pack.org/ There are posts there from this month so it's still active.  Triumph Spitfire & GT6 Information Warehouse indeed moved their forum off to Facebook some time ago. But I look at the library of stuff on the actual site for references. https://triumphspitfire.com/reference-pages/spitfire-gt6-models-and-options/

I didn't go that far in what I posted. Figured I'd been wordy enough already.  I'm aware that clearly his focus is on advertising revenue, not so much the members. I suspect political discussions will drive offended users away. Reducing Revenue.  So he doesn't allow them. He doesn't actively look for them either. Just reacts to reports.  I did some digging on Milo. I think he's a "puppet". A "disposable" account created to act out and say things he'd never say under his main "handle" in case he gets banned.  He joined a year ago, 99 posts. No image. NO cars listed. He may not even have a "horse" in the race. (IE Own a Triumph.) Most of his post are sarcastic attacks against members I KNOW don't like Trump. (Many of them contacted me via PM's after major explosive thread in the pub laid bare many peoples political leanings. But we just yak with each other. We never even thought to form a guerrilla group to target MAGA users.)  

That sent me digging for pictures from British Car Day at Bronte Provincial Park west of Toronto a few days ago..... This one is in a dark metallic brown. (I suspect a BMW or Mercedes colour) 15" Minilites with - I believe - 175/55R15 tires. Chromed headlight bezels. Polished custom stainless steel grill and bumper overriders. Custom cream leather interior. Not sure if it was just for the chrome bling look, the external boot hinges from a MKIII. The chrome bonnet/fender side vents are from a 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne.        I couldn't find the owner to get a peek under the bonnet.

Ahh I see so if i route that header pipe to the bottom pipe it will provide a more direct feed to the inlet of the block. The old feed to the rad is not connected then to the header i am thinking i can block it with some sort of bleed screw?

Ahhh the picture and explanation helps more . This then creates a second loop for the water circulating the warming water back in. On mine there isnt a loop there as its blocked until the thermostat opens,

I fear you're right, Nick.   From the US, there used to be the Triumph Spitfire & GT6 Forum - it seems to be a website now, with a Facebook branch: Spitfire & GT6 Models and Options – Triumph Spitfire & GT6 Information Warehouse The "Six Pack" has also gone over to the Face side: Who are we? – 6-Pack Car Club Teglerizer had a board at one time,. I think, but no longer: The Teglerizer Home Page via Joust John

I had a 1.3 injection Mini Cooper in the middle 1990s. Bloody brilliant little car. Exactly like a go-cart. Great around town. Handbrake turns everywhere. Wore out a set of tyres in 9 months due to those sort of antics. Had to go when no.1 child came along.

That’s an interesting progression. It does end up looking remarkably like an MX5 or perhaps more the Italian variant of it. Somewhere between pics 3 & 4 for me……  There’s a pic of a a real Spit out there it’s painted a pale green metallic and has 15” Minilite style (Panasport?) wheels and somehow looks much more modern without any other overt mods

I can see this one from both sides.  The exclusion of “politics” from the TE has always been there in the rules and is certainly not unique to TE. It seems more common in US based forums. Probably as a consequence of the tribal, high polarised nature of US politics and the abundance of “Bubba” types always spoiling for a fight. It makes sense on a special interests forum to exclude this divisive, disruptive subject. It makes it easier to keep it orderly and avoid strife. As it’s in the published rules, I don’t really feel that deleting political content can be considered suppression of free speech.  Of course the problem comes when deciding when it gets political and dealing with it reasonably and even-handedly.  My approach, where a single post has derailed an otherwise useful thread would be to delete that post and warn the poster, not to delete the whole thread. I’ve never been a regular on TE. It doesn’t quite do it for me, though there are some very good people on there who don’t often show up elsewhere.  Not sure if there are any other US based Triumph forums left these days? I know Jeff McNeals TTN (first forum I ever participated in) is long gone. Pity - it was a good one. He didn’t allow politics either. Maybe it’s time there was another US Triumph forums these days to give TE some competition?
