“The Flying Terd”
68 triumph spitfire same owner since 1970

car was found in a back yard in claymont Delaware while crossing a fence to a back yard as a paper boy when i was only 13 years old

i knocked on the door ask about the go cart in the back yard and the owner Bruce schwamb said hears the keys, the car is yours

.over the next few months i put the car back in running condition and drove it home .

my dad said what is this'' and why are you driving

i told him about Mr schwamb and how he gave me the car. because i was his paper boy. he laughed and said park it right hear. but you cant drive it until your 16, but i will help you get the parts you need to fix it up .

on my 16Th birthday we drove it to the inspection station in Wilmington Delaware, got it registered, and the rest is History,

boy did i have to fight off my older brothers and sisters who demanded the keys more then i cared for . but i let them drive it too.. today it is still my baby and only death will part me from this car
