SCTOA.org Newsletter printed by Orange County Fast Print. www.ocfastprint.com Cullum's Column Hello Everyone, It's April and the Triumph club driving season is picking up speed. We've had some of the same great events we have every year along with some new ones. On 4-19, we attended our second Pomona Swap Meet, although we had a small group of cars compared to the first one, we had a great time showing off our Triumphs and promoting the club. We actually signed up new members, Javier and Beatriz Urteaga with a 1974 French Blue TR6. On 4-11, Dennis and Bridget Lambert hosted their second Silverado Adventure with a drive through Santiago, Live Oak and Silverado Canyons followed by a BBQ at their home in Silverado Canyon. The first of our Tuesday or midweek affairs kicked off on 3-17 at the Griffith Park Observatory for an afternoon of fun. John Roberts organized this event. We had another new drive on 4-18, "Loren's Drive" put on by Loren Wood. On 4-26, many of us attended the Queen’s English car show at Woodley Park. This event has every kind of British car you can think of plus lots of parts for sale. Jay Leno usually shows up with one of his exotic cars; but I didn't see him this year. We had more new members join at this event, Jeb and Stacy Bugaren with a 1978 BRG Triumph Spitfire. I've seen his Spitfire all over Orange County and have never been able to see who owned it. About a month ago, I saw him filling up his Spit at the gas station around the corner from my home so I pulled in and started talking to him. He knew of our club and was very interested in joining and said he'd be at Queen’s English. I'd forgotten about that until I saw him drive into Woodley. I went over to say hi and he said, I want to join the club and pulled out his check book. This isn't the first person with a Triumph I've followed, then stopped to talk with about our cars and SCTOA and it won't be the last. You never know where our next member will come from. Another new activity on 5-16 is "High Tea" hosted by Jerie Keller. On 5-19, John Roberts will host our second Tuesday or midweek affair, a tour of the USS Iowa and a Pacific Palisades Loop Drive. On 5-23 is the Scottish festival at the OC Fair Grounds, on 6-5 through the 7th is the Cambria Blow out weekend or SCTOA Birthday party, on 6-27 is The Drive on the Edge put on by Abel Miramon and on 7-4 is the 4th of July Potluck at the home of Bob and Bonnie Cullum. I've covered some of the major events during the first half of this year. However, there are several other regular monthly activities such as OC Breakfast, SFV Breakfast, Belmont Shore Brit Night and Golden Cove British Car Meet. My purpose for listing all these is to show how much is going on and all the different people who contribute. There was one other event, the Lake Arrowhead Car Show, that Tom and Lynn Eckes wanted to do; but we couldn't get them what they needed in time. Hopefully, it will be cont. pg. 4 Visit Our award winning website: www.sctoa.org 3 on the calendar next year. Please show your support by participating. Thank you to all the members that work hard organizing these events. They're one of the things that make this club great and the other is you. I look forward to seeing everyone at all our activities throughout the year. I have a request for all of our members. During last month’s meeting I asked a question to the members in attendance, “what got you involved with Triumphs and what was your first Triumph”. We went around the room and everyone had a great story to tell. We’re always looking for articles to publish in our newsletter so I’d like everyone to answer the same question and email your story to me at rdcullum@gmail. com. We’ll pick a couple to publish for each newsletter. Thanks, Bob Cullum 714-767-2557 [email protected] We are a Restoration and Modification Shop Specializing in Triumphs and MGB’s.

The Green Mile is back on the road!! Ohhh man, what a sweet sound it is to hear it running on all 6 cylinders. Between Kate's trip to Italy and getting the front yard landscaped I was able to get the head installed. I solicited the help of Kate's son - Ben. He was eager to help in the beginning; however, that spirit seemed to wane when he realized he overlooked installing the manifold gasket after tightening the last bolt. "What's this?" He asked as he was cleaning up. Chuckling, I informed him of his task to put the gasket in. As he was grumbling, I assured him he will never forget that again. I'm still wondering if he appreciated the lesson. I was hoping to teach him the art of balancing the carbs; but I couldn't wait for his next visit. I mean - a few tweaks and vroom, I went (yahoooooo...)! It's running, sweet! I'm going to talk a little more about lessons. There are so many club members who are more than willing to share their wisdom. One particular line of advice that I have used over and over is "Always check your wiring first". That, I give credit to Dennis Lambert when we were talking about my ignition problem on the Green Mile in which I found 4 or 5 splices in a wire that was the root of my problem. I was about to replace the alternator in my Stag when I decided to check out the wiring (thank you Dennis). Sounds easy? With some hunting I found the wire sitting next to the exhaust manifold in a crispy state. I had to remove a few items in order to get a visualization of the problem as it was dark down there. My harness is wrapped in plastic tubes as well as the traditional plastic tape. Once I removed the coverings, I found a tragedy - mismatched wire gages, multiple slices (4 in several wires) and loose connections. On top of that, the wiring was not the same as the Triumph Stag wiring diagram due to the alternator. With some studying and reviewing of multiple wiring diagrams, I was able to figure out which wires I needed to replace and which wires I needed to repair. I built a new alternator harness and removed the multiple splices in some of the other wires. That took a full day but I now have a solid wiring harness for the Stag charging system. Where is the next problem going to appear? Anyway - the Green Mile is back up for sale (I think?). Many extra parts are included. order Yours ImmedIatelY! 2010 morgan aero supersports (310) 998-3311 Only 150-200 to be built for the world, ever!

I met Paulette at her house and hitched a ride with her in her beautiful red TR4. We then met up with Alan and Corrine at Randy's Doughnuts. You know the place, it has a huge doughnut on the roof and has been in many movies. The SCTOA Booth The car show started at 9 AM. When we got there at 8:30, there were probably over 100 cars there already. In addition to the usual horde of MGs, there were Land Rovers, Minis, Lotus (is Lotii the plural?), Jags, Morgans, Sunbeams and Healeys. There also were a few Ford orphans and a double decker bus and a Citroen. What, you may ask, is a Citroen doing at a British car show? Isn't it French? To avoid import duties, Citroen actually built some cars in a plant just outside London. Spitfire Hoods are open I counted 47 Triumphs. 1-Sport 6. 1-Stag. 1-Italia. 5-Spitties. 3-GT6. 13-TR3. 6-4's. 2-4A's. 1-250. 15-6's. 2-7's. 2-8's. They ranged from decent to pristine daily drivers. Sorry if I drooled on some of your cars.

It is a special car rallye with instructions written in Braille. Each step is read by a student of the Braille Institute who is the navigator in the passenger seat. In the past, this event has been supported by all sorts of exotic cars, along with major movie, TV, and sports celebrities. It usually gets included in the newscasts of each local network For the students at the institute, it is the biggest event they look forward to all year. At the end, each driver feels that they have made a new friend! The activity takes all day, starting and ending in the Los Angeles area. The finish is at a nice location with food and prizes. This event is championed by the Long Beach MG Club, who have organized the event every year since its inception. We look to field a larger number of DMCs every year, as there always seem to be more navigators than drivers. It provides a great experience for all! ---------------------------------------------------Stay tuned for more updates as the date approaches. 12 Southern California Triumph Owners Association Guest Speaker: Steve Christiansen of Ol Phartz Parts Ol Phartz Partz, formed in 2010, is a cottage industry business that manufacturers and sells unique components for classic cars.

It has moved just down the street to Geezer’s Restaurant at 12120 Telegraph Road, Santa Fe Springs. 6:30 for dinner or appetizers and 7:30 for the meeting time. Beautiful building. Great food with lots of variety. Private room with our own waitress like Maggie’s. Separate billing for each. Great service and attention to details. So why did we move. If variety is the spice of life, then we have added a little spice to our lives. Unfortunately Maggie’s, which always gave us great service, was sold by Peter after his mother, Maggie, passed away. The new owners have converted from an evening pub to a late-night nightclub. Our private room became not so private, as tables and chairs were pulled out during our meeting. The noise level also rose as a band was set up for the evening patrons. Leaving the building we needed to pass through guards who were patting down those coming in for the evening. The parking lot became busier at night and maybe not so safe for parking our precious Triumphs. With Bob Cullum at the helm as our President and Paulette Caudill’s encouragement, we are taking the road of trying new ideas and events along with some of the yearly favorites. At the suggestion from Bob, we are now going monthly to the Pomona Classic Car Swap Meet which Rob Bowen has stepped up to organize. We set up our banner and a table with club information. With the added exposure, we hope to let other Triumph owners know about the fun and support that can be found by joining a club. John Robert’s has set up four Tuesday fun events for those who might like getting together on a week day. Loren Wood has just finished writing and guiding his first drive. We have also had several all-girl events. Yeah guys, we are probably talking about you. Carl Miller is still setting up and running Alton’s raffle at every meeting. A little fund raiser for the club that can be lots of fun. Carl and I will be joining with Bob Muzio this year to bring you the Falling Leaf Vintage Drive. Take off from Gelson’s Market, run through the Santa Monica Mountains and end at a winery for a picnic lunch and a little tasting of your favorite vintage. Cambria weekend will be a bit more relaxed this year. Same hotel but no totally organized drives for our Triumphs. Triumphfest will be hosted by the San Diego Triumph Club. So that our local Triumph club members can go as guests instead of worker bees. It looks like a great year. So remember to join us at the new location for our meetings at Geezer’s Restaurant. I think the ladies really like this place. We have seen a lot more who have come to grace us with their presence. Come check us out and see you soon. Visit Our award winning website: www.sctoa.org 15 April Pomona Swap Meet by Rob Bowen On Sunday April 19th, the SCTOA banner flew at the Pomona Swap Meet and Classic Car Show. This is a great place for us to expose the club and meet new people. We met at the McDonald's on Fairplex Dr. near the Fairground at 5:30am (UGH!!). Four hardy souls were there, Bob Cullum (TR6), Neal Peterson (TR6), Steve Petersen (TR8) and myself (TR6). We finally headed for the swap meet around 6:00 BIG MISTAKE! It took us 40 minutes in line to get in. Neal's TR6 and Steve's TR8 both started having trouble and they took their respective cars home, Bob and I were left to carry the banner. Weather was beautiful and there was a good crowd, probably 90% of our time was spent talking to other people. A Spitfire showed up with a 400hp Ford 302ci and huge hood scoop. A TR6 that was for sale parked next to us and we tried to tell the owner about the club but he is just ready to sell. Another couple Javier and Beatriz Urteaga of Hacienda Heights were excited to tell us of their new purchase a 1974 He told Bob he was afraid to drive it. DUHHH! French Blue TR6. They joined the club on the spot, so welcome to them. We had several others looking to buy and hope to see them a Queen's English and hope they will also join us. Matt our liaison for the swap meet came by and suggested we plan to be in by 5:30 in order to avoid the line, lesson learned - we will meet at 5:00 am.. The June event falls on the same weekend as Cambria so I will not be there, if someone wants to go let me know and I'll help set it up. Oct 18th is going to be a big show for us. We have been picked as "The Featured Car Club" we will be highlighted in their flier mailing and also on their website. The first 20 Triumphs to contact me will get free admission so please let me if you would like to go. Around noon the wind started coming up and we decided to call it a day. Thanks to Bob for all his time to get me up to speed for this 16 Southern California Triumph Owners Association Main Street Car Show 100-500 Main Street El Segundo, CA 90245 Saturday, August 22, 2015 from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM Registration Donation to El Segundo POA $25 per car Donations collected by ESPOA are utilized throughout the year to support many community groups, including youth activities, El Segundo Education Foundation, and South Bay Police and Fire Memorial Foundation, just to name a few .

If you mount it too far out the hood hinge will hit it. STEP 6: Now you must extend the high low wires around two feet. Cut the plugs off leaving enough wire to solder on to. Always solder and heat shrinks your connections. Don’t connect to main harness just yet. STEP 9:Mount the relay off to the side or the hinge will hit it. cont. pg. 20 Visit Our award winning website: www.sctoa.org 19 STEP 10:I use the old head light ends and solder them on to the HID harness. This way you can plug them into the TR6 harness. STEP 12: You must get a 12v hot from the battery to the HID harness. (When the Chevy V6 was installed they ran one with the main harness) .STEP 13: Now put the HID bulbs in the lights. (You will need lights you can change the bulbs in) Remember these are your headlights your life depends on them. ALWAYS solder and heat shrink do not use butt or crimp connectors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STEP 14: Reinstall the inner buckets, lights, retainer rings, trim rings and turn on lights. STEP 11: Now you can solder the high low wires back to the HID harness.

About 30 to 32 people attended two months ago and 20 attended this month even with the rainy weather. Rob Bowen is taking over the Pomona Swap Meet event. This event is intended to increase our membership as we show off our BRITISH cars and find prospective new members. This event will be held once every other month. It is important to have a big turn out for October 18. We will be the featured car and everyone can enter for free. We will have a special parking area with only our cars. Paulette reported that the membership numbers are steady at 160. Jim Kellar, the treasurer, reported that the insurance is paid along with all the other bills. Advertisers continue to renew now that we have our Advertising Chair in place. British Car Specialists renewed this month. This position has been vacant for several years. Also, Loren Wood has done a great job of attracting new advertisers. We appreciate your hard work and thank you Loren! Past events: Everyone had a great time at Walt’s St. Paddy’s Day party. We also enjoyed the new breakfast location. If we gave out a rubber chicken award, Scott McKee would have received it because his alternator went out. (Maybe we should start that. Just kidding.) John Roberts reported that at the Golden Cove event on the third Sunday of the month in Palos Verdes, he saw a TR Italia - a very rare car. He also said that the first midweek event to Griffith Park was very successful. We had about ten people in attendance. Our next midweek event will be to see the USS Iowa in San Pedro on May 19. Joe Salbego attended the Rites of Spring Drive and he said it went well. About 20 to 30 people showed up. Some got lost. You can view pictures on the website. There were four fathers with their sons in attendance. We need to encourage the young to keep the cars on the road. Members comments: Patti and Carl Miller found their TR6. It is a 1974 yellow with tan interior, overdrive and the seats are Miata seats with the speakers. They are very excited about their acquisition. Bob Cullum thinks he saw Alton’s car for sale on Hemmings. It’s in Germany and they want $22,000 for it. Tom Eckes' event to Arrowhead is cancelled for this year. He will have it next year. Bruce Hearn received a call from Gerty Lowery. She needs help selling Wes’ spitfire. Up coming events: The Lambert’s Party, Loren’s Drive, OC Breakfast, Long Beach Gran Prix, Queen’s English and High Tea with Jerie Keller. Rob Bowen talked about the Julian Drive on the weekend of November 7. We are going to a five star restaurant, a new hotel - the Julian Lodge. The lodge offers AAA club or senior discounts upon request. Make your reservations now because the accommodations are limited. Drives to Cambria are forming: Dick Hansen is leading a casual drive to Cambria via Pismo and lunch. Loren Wood is hosting a longer drive up I-5. If anyone else would like to invite people along with them, please call Bob Cullum. If you want to join Dick’s or Loren's drive please contact them. President Bob asked everyone what drew them to own a TR and what was their first one? We went around the room and everyone told their story. They were GREAT STORIES!!! I hope people write these stories down so we can print them in the newsletter and share them with those of you who were unable to attend our meeting.

We will leave the Amtrak Station and arrive in Santa Barbara for lunch. He would like to reserve a business class car; but we need 70+ people for that, so let Allen know if you are coming. People will be able to pick up the train in Riverside or Orange County. Watch for the flyer in the newsletter Past Events: Dennis Lambert said that the Silverado Adventure was a success and they will do it again next year. You are welcome at their house - we don’t get a lot of visitors. We would enjoy seeing you. Loren reported that his drive was a success. There were eight cars in attendance and they had a great time. The drive was windy with lots if switchbacks. Bo, Jerie and Bob, Jasper, the Carls and Clarks were in attendance. Patti said, “We were driving this little road and it opened out into a large beautiful park - amazing!” Loren said he would do this drive again next year with some small improvements. Rob Bowen reported that the Pomona Swap meet was attended by he and Bob Cullum; but they had fun and signed up new members. Javier and Beatriz Urteaga of Hacienda Hights; we look forward to meeting them. He is unable to attend the June swap meet due to the Cambria trip, so we cancelled the June swap meet event. It is really important that we have a big turn out for the October Pomona Swap Meet event. Triumph is the featured car. We will have our own roped off area and the first 20 cars get in free. Please Call Rob and let him know that you will attend. Rich Smirnoff reported that he had an enjoyable day at Queen’s English. This is his second time attending and he looks for cars he has never seen. He saw a Singer Roadster, Peerless, Italia, the one from Golden Cove. There were many TRs especially TR6s and a Jag C-Type. Guest Speaker: Steve Christiansen of Ol Phartz Parts in Laguna Hills. Showed us his disc brake kit and how he developed it. He started his restorations and modifications business with these modified rear disc brakes for TR2/3 and TR4 or solid axel cars. Now he sells British car parts. The kit runs about $1400 and is totally complete. It does not take long to install. The calipers and rotors are made from modified Nissan parts. The brackets are very durable and the kits are complete with braided brake lines with kevlar covering, very thick. No welding is required. 22 Southern California Triumph Owners Association They are made to work with the standard front wheel brakes. He backs his products and will replace anything that presents a problem; but he has had no problems with his products. For more information, go to his website www.olphartz.com or call 949 716-2569. Future Events: Jerie’s High Tea has 14 people signed up and they can take 8 more. John Roberts’ second midweek drive is to the USS Iowa with lunch and drive through Palos Verdes. The June Cambria trip is offering a choice of ways up there. 1)Go with Dick and Johanna Hansen to Pismo beach for crab. They will leave Ventura at 10:30 from Seaward. 2)For the more hearty, Loren Wood is leading a group up I-5. 4)Rob Bowen and Bob Cullum are leading a group via Salvang. They leave from hamburger hill. 4)You are welcome go it alone or form your own group. See the newsletter for more details. The Cambria trip is more kick back this year, not so structured, always experimenting. Club Business: Cody Crowley has resigned his Board position due to conflict with his work schedule. Thank you so much for all your hard work. We really appreciate your efforts Cody. William Tillman volunteered to take over the email blast duties. We still need a secretary and apprentice to the newsletter editor. Interested parties should call Bob Cullum. Meeting adjourned at 9:04 PM. Minutes submitted by Paulette Caudill SCTOA May Board Meeting Minutes SCTOA Board Meeting Minutes - May 5, 2015 Meeting started at 9:20 PM. Discussed: We need to get out more info on Cambria drives. No one person is coordinating the event so each person who is leading something has to be sure to give information to Scott for the newsletter and William for email. Scott will make a flyer. Jim Funkhouser will give the Board more information about Constant Connect at our next meeting. This is another means to keep people informed. William Tillman will do the email blast duties, however, he is not inclined to take a Board position. He is looking for a new job and does not know what his schedule will be like. We will ask again fear not. Jim F. wanted to know if Scott had received emails with Bill Sinclair’s TR6 project. He is sending them for publication. Yes, Scott has received them and will publish them as a series over several issues. Jim Kellar reported that we have all the needed insurance documentation for future events that may require such documents. So Tom can go ahead with his Arrowhead Trip. We need a history of the club’s beginnings for the Pomona Swap meet people. Jim F. will ask Paul Smock if he can provide a write up. Meeting adjourned at 9:43 PM.
