Jason Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 The pop up roof is a piece of craftsmanship - it's all plywood and hinges with some big gaps, just like a Triumph :-) I was going to say that we couldn't run with the pop up roof because we'd be travelling too fast and the wind speed would damage it but then I realised that the words "Atlas" and "speed" don't belong in the same sentence :B Legend has it that the RBRR timings can be met by a 948 Herald, we should be fine then 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And won't you have approximately 4 tonnes of bacon on board? Sensing a speed difference, and that's apart from the fact that it appears to have the aerodynamics of a brick.

lordleonusa Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Since all Heralds and Vitesses etc were designed and built by STI, or Standard-Triumph International, then there should be no problem with a Standard Atlas participating in the RBRR.Remembering also that the Standard 10 is known as the Triumph 10 on this side of the pond.Keep it in the family, so to speak!Damn, wish I could be there.L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
