![]() Although I was married, there were no children at the time, so I just needed sufficient space to carry my books and supplies. Shortly after arriving in California I enrolled at Santa Ana Junior College, and I was also in the market to buy an inexpensive car to drive to school. I was fortunate to immediately find a job when I arrived, and then made California my home only returning to Montana for vacations and to visit family. In 1964, thinking it would only be temporary, I ventured out to Southern California. Upon completing my three years of service in the Army, I returned to Montana and worked with my father on a ranch. What fun it was when we would pile in his TR4 and we would take off to visit small country towns, or travel the roads along the Rhine River. ![]() My friend actually wanted the TR3, but was not able to order one due Triumph transitioning to the new TR4 design. It was red in color, black interior and top, and I remember it having the overdrive transmission. My first appreciation for British sports cars developed in Germany in 1963 when my good Army friend purchased a new Triumph TR4. In 1960, I graduated, enlisted in the Army, and soon thereafter, I was stationed in Germany. Most of my high school years, living in Montana, were spent driving a customized 1948 Chrysler. ![]()
