  • How I got my TR6 and lost the family hauler all in 24 hours.

    Sept 11th picked it up in Guelph and drove it home. Sept 12th, my birthday. Lightening hit our maple tree and took out the van and our front porch. ​​​

          A few months ago someone posted a picture on FaceBook of a tree that landed on his TR6! Luckily the branches absorbed most of the weight and damage to the 6 was "minor"...... you fared much worse...
