Hello All!
Thanks for visiting the TR6 Web. This column is here because I'm at heart an extroverted nerd, and I figured that offering a few of my words up for pondering, ranting, ignoring, what-have-you was a small price for what (I hope) the TR6 Web offers. If you haven't checked out the rest of the site, by all means go do so now before reading this drivel. This page is going to be where I post any extended rants, rambles, thoughts or other whimsy that pertains to our world of LBCs. Yep; the content here is indeed going to be (verrrrrry loosely) affiliated with the cars that we know and love. Beware; some columns may take delight in spending the entire text simply drawing obfuscated connections betwixt themselves and the LBC passion. They'll follow no set schedule.

RoadTRip II: The Next ITRation!
So. I made it to California despite the gloomy prognostication of some of my friends who shall remain unnamed but know who they are. Now comes the next leg- making it home! Once again, for the entertainment of all those of you who may stop by this site when you're supposed to be workin', I plan on providing updates from the road on the way back home, thanks to my trusty Newton 2100. (Note to Apple: The iMac may be cool, but you could've owned the world with the Newton if you'd only had the nads to market it correctly and support its growth. Yet another pricesless opportunity lost.)
I plan on departing Santa Monica early in the morning on Monday, August 31st. If you want proof, I will be visible on the Santa Monica PierCam between 5:00 and 5:10 am PDT on August 31st. I will post the first update the night before leaving, to confirm departure...the next one will be from the road! Oh yes, if you followed my original RoadTRip log, you'll notice a neat new feature...which I hope works right.
Updates will (hopefully) post automagically to the following page:

...that is, if I got all my perl right.

The editor of the TR6 Web is a graduate student currently studying the impact of early morning departures on average daily IQ. He lives in perpetual longing for the several hours of additional sleep he didn't get last night. At times, he has been known to doze off whilst washing his car, resulting in a nasty case of raisinhead; however, the person that informed him of this the morning after may have been lying.
