1974 Triumph Stag (which are now owned by BMW)



She's been part of the family since 1983, my family has a long association with Triumph as the Grand Father worked in the factory from '47 to '77, guess it's in the blood.

The Triumph Stag is a great car, my father owned one of the first protypes for the Triumph TR2's, unfortunately he left it in Britain when he emigrated to NZ. He had Triumph cars all his life till he passed away, good memories apart from the odd "'Kangaroo gas"". in rural stations, for those not in the know was incorrectly labelled octane petrol affecting the cars performance resulting in juddering, stalling.

lol, I did realise your situation which is deporable. I admire your courage. It is the waiting that gets to you.

At least we are fortunate in that both of us have not had to bury family members, I have had several regular customers come in with family members who were in the CTV building, appalling to hear of the loss and devastion to the families first hand. Another customer came in shortly after losing her house on MT Pleasant,(slid down the hill) she was only 10 metres away from her house in her car after leaving, talk about traumitised. She is not allowed to search through the ruins for clothes so all she has is the clothes she is wearing and her car. Damn I felt for her !

So in a way we are lucky.

Hmm, must get a digitial camera. The olympus om10 I have died years ago. Unable to replace the computer components as too expensive, or unavaiable.

Even the manual adaptor will not work if the computer chip is dead.

Pity as I have 2 good lenses for the camera being :

Olympus Zuiko auto zoom 28-46mm 1:4
Vivitar Series 1  70-210mm 1:3.5

Also have a motodrive capable of 5fps and a sunpak auto 30dx thyristor again capable of over 5 flashes per sec.

The question I have is can the old lenses and flash be used for a digitial camera ?
