    The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

    Triton .....
    Actually one of my house mates when I first left home had a Triton, which was painted silver with a blue frame. Triumph 650 engine as I recall in a Norton "featherbed" frame. In the days when three and four cylinder motorbikes were just coming onto the scene, (The first Kawasaki triple would have been called a "widowmaker", but no one who rode one lived long enough to get married), they were the duck's nuts.

    An engineering student at what was then the Queensland Institute of Technology went one better and built a "Nortina". Same Norton frame, but with a turbocharged Cortina GT motor....hard to see let alone keep up with.

    Where's the connection to this forum you ask?

    Well, what WOODEN
    I have given to have owned one of them.

    Tritons used to rule!!!

    Cheers,

    He fitted a Cortina 1500cc motor into a motor bike frame? And the GT version at that? My brother had a Cortina GT when they first came out, they were hot then and they would still take a bit of beating even now.

    Never mind how long it takes a Triton to suck, those Cortinas were great. I wouldn't mind mind having one today. In fact, cars haven't really improved all that much over the last 20 or 30 years.

    Also, you guys, lets get back on topic.... I don't think the 6" duct is big enough to suck up a Cortina (what kinda wood is that btw). Also, have you read my post re the Dust Collection articles ???
