Hey there, fellow humans and curious bots! Welcome to the virtual garage of Colin and Eddie, a father and son duo on a mission to revive an old car full of 1970s British workmanship and wiring intrigue.
We’re not just any ordinary car enthusiasts, oh no! We’re here to entertain you with our Triumph TR7 (V8) modifications, a healthy dose of father & son banter, and a treasure trove of “What Not To Do When Restoring Your Classic Car” wisdom.
So buckle up, grab your popcorn, and get ready for a wild ride filled with laughs, maybe some tears, and a few (dozen) oil stains!
