Suzie has a wee Dolly called Molly, one day little Molly decided the rear of her Dolly was not going to give way to the folly of Suzy's husband called Phil. Molly says no, go away you deprived so and so and leave my back end to ones who know.

There was a young fellow called Ashley who was quite storty and flashy - He owned a club sport and was heard to retort There's nothing like a club sport To back up a good Triumph sport Anonymous	The seats were black in his lovely TR Hot like the date he'd picked up from the bar But when his legs hit the seat he yelled "Oh my!" and rapidly let out the steam from his fly To which the girl remarked loudly, heard from afar, "Sorry to disappoint ya sweetheart, but I only came 'cause of the car!"

When in a thirty year old car, it pays to know where you are. 'Cos if something goes BANG... or (God forbid) there's a prang, you can still find the nearest bar! Nick Moore	Triumph Rallies are always fun Even when there's not much sun Our cars are built to last But are also incredibly fast Three cheers Roger, Janey, well done! Anonymous
We are the folks on the Autumn Gold run Our object is to go and have fun We don't care if there's sleet and rain When you're having fun you feel no pain This time next year we'll do it again Eddie/Rocky	John & Christine have a white wocket machine Which they think is quite fast but when you get up its arse, its not that fast because it's lost all its class making it easy to Pass.

Roger and Janey went walking While they walked they started talking They said aren't Stephanie and Melissa cute SHAME they never go on mute. Stephanie C.	There was once a Triumph 2000 called Mertle whom everybody thought was a turtle Till one day on the Haast highway it blew a Club Sport away and since that day she's been on the prey looking to blow a white wocket away Anonymous
There was a couple from Rakaia Who went in their Trumpy flyer To the Autumn Gold Rally They thought it would be palley For breakfast they ate brown and white toast And fed the fish on the coast.

As we travel along in our jolly old Trumpys On roads, lanes and highways; smooth, steep or bumpy. We share all our stories with old friends and new, While all those in rag-tops slowly turn blue! A cuppa, a wee-wee and we're off again Wishing this weekend never to end. We all know the benefits of doing the miles In the very best transport, in true Triumph style! Linda & Martin White	Small talk about a slippery subject At Ohau on Friday to the ladies I happened to go, My turn at the basin was very slow. Janey had found the soap on the wall stand, And she stood there stroking it with her hands, She said "look at this!" I couldn't think what to say, Then with a smile on her face said; "Oh I could do this all day." If she had one of those at home she would play, Whenever her Roger went away. But don't worry Roger, you're not about to be replaced by some soap, Cause driving the Triumph, no chance would it cope. Anonymous
There was a V8 from Rangiora That got rather bogged at Makarora Too much heavy welly And it got stuck on it's belley The V8 from Rangiora at Makarora Anonymous	To own a Stag you need a deep pocket Cause you're always using a spanner or socket Their owners try to hard to be fair But sooner or later cry out in despair I can't take it anymore My wallet is so sore This car has to go so focket Anonymous
There once was a Triumph called Wite Wocket Who when asked could go like a rocket The wife drove with a lead foot To get rid of the soot But her fines were paid out of HIS pocket Anonymous	Well, Gerald's drying, I have no doubt; the boot's been emptied, damn ducks chased out, I can only hope that our Autumn Gold, isn't followed by Autumn Mould!

Ron & Christine Brooking	ODE TO THE AUTUMN GOLD (or We should have brought the TR3) By the Southgate team In the early days of autumn When colours turn to bold Roger & Janey planned a Triumph run Which they have called the "Autumn Gold". The meeting places were arranged But we arrived in something strange We should have brought our Triumph, that would have been great But bugger- we arrived in a H.S.V. R.8. Perhaps we won't be noticed Cause the colour's much the same But if there is some protest I'll say that Linda is to blame. To travel roads, from flat plains to mountains high Some so high reaching clouds as they go by A team of seventeen shiny Triumphs and one muddy R8 Are off on the Autumn Gold which should be great. Just think- we are so lucky to be where we are today To own a Triumph (or R8) so the big boys can have a play But guys just don't put your foot down too far Cause down here they still use the camera car. The Rimu tall and the lakes so blue Herons, Bellbirds and Fantails too The bridges span the rivers wide As we continue on this wondrous ride The sheer beauty of our own land Surely driving a Triumph that was the plan Motoring on over many a mountainous pass So travel on - Long may it last. At the age of 50 something I know I'll always want to drive Thru these Alpine passes with Ashley by my side But next time, we will surely leave our R8 at home In our trusty blue TR3 and topless we will roam.
