This was an interesting story about all the triumphs that you once owned as a young man. I recall a saying "I have a need - to speed." Guess sometimes those fast cars will get you in trouble. I never owned a Triumph, but one of my friends did. I think it was O-D- Green. Don't know what happened to the car or him for that matter. I did enjoy the way that part of the book read like a diary, it gave credence to the authenticity of the writing. Thanks for sharing and good luck with your best-seller.

Hi Linda this is a fresh edit adding the Mazda Chapter as well as I am trying to move stuff around some more. These old Triumph's were NOT speedy hehe. I forget what capacity the engines were, probably something like the old Datsun 1000's at a guess. Very good of you to stop by. I guess you know I have taken a new direction in some reviewing sorry about that. I had to cut back a bit sorry. Let me know what you are doing later if you like.
-
No problem. It's hard to fit everything in at one time. But I do miss your words of wisdom. LOL
-
Well keep me posted but I won't promise immediate action. If you go in any other directions in your writing as well I am interested.

I'm working on a collection of short stories which is almost ready, and I've also started another fantasy series. Have to finish this last book first. I appreciate your feedback. One of my stories is actually going to be a contemporary young adult with no fantasy, but that's a ways down the road. Still putting some ideas together.
-
OK well that one sounds more like my kind of thing ok! I am working on re editing and adding some more to my book. thought of some areas I had left out but I needed to re-arrange the chapters to include this extra stuff.
-
Yeah - you make one little change and then you have to re-edit the rest of the chapters. I've had to do the same thing. Good Luck with that:)
-
Right well thanks again for coming by.

Welcome:)

Hi LInda, can't remember if we have shared e-mails. Love to talk to you or your hubby whatever but very public on here ok. if you write to me through www.nepeanbaptist.org I will get your details as I run the web site. Can't remember if we have a way in here to privately share e-mail addresses. I am on Face book as well that I where I found Fan Story. if you look for Geoffrey Moore in Sydney NSW or Penrith or??
-
Will send the email to you later. Hopefully, when my website is up and hopefully running early next week, we'll have a place to communicate in the chat room.

Editing is important. Only upon your re-reads you see ow you can improve your style, find grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes. Keep on editing and the final piece will be exceptional

Hi there thanks for that. This was a MAJOR edit and change and addition, also a re-organization of some chapters as well. More to come I am sure. Thanks again.

Just did a re-edit of this if interested in looking again. Amalgamated a later chaoter in here.

This chapter has been fun for me too, Sankey. I too, once had a couple of Truimphs. A 1960 TR3 and a 1973 TR7. So I could reminisce with you.

Hey right! I found them the easiest little cars to drive as a new driver as well. I still remember after the long distance between the movement between the Four on the floor gears in the Triumph the Mazda Four on floor were just so much closer to each other hehe. Thanks for the lovely review.

Nicely written and full of information.
It seems these were interesting years for you and you mention the special bond of caring and sharing between yourself and your older brother.
Memories are special and you have shared yours freely and well.

Thanks very much. Appreciate your excellent review. I did a bit of reorganizing and moved some stuff around as well as adding to a couple of chapters. There is more coming to Chapter 6.

This is another of the stories I remember from when I was on FanStories earlier. Like I've said, it is fun to read them again but I know if it counts as a new review.
You've certainly had your share of adventures with cars. So have I. These adventures have us wanting to pull our hair out when they happen but in retrospect that make good stories to laugh about later. I look forward to reading more of your story.
