MY RIDE


Three Dogs’ Daily Victory Lap in a Triumph


Tom Mineo, 64, a retired human-re-
sources executive from Bradenton,
Fla., on his 1974 Triumph TR6, as told
to A.J. Baime.

Back when I was working, I used to
wake up on Saturdays and take the
dogs for a drive in my Triumph. My
late wife fostered dogs, but she did
not understand the concept of foster-
ing. She would bring home a dog, and
that dog never left. These dogs were
so smart, they knew the day of the
week. On weekdays, I would wake up
for work and they would not move. On
Saturday, the moment I opened my
eyes, the whole place would explode,
because the dogs knew we were going
for a ride.
Now I’m retired, and we go every
morning around Anna Maria Island,
near where I live. At the bridge onto
the island, the dogs pile over to the
left side of the car to say hello to the
bridge tender. At the elementary
school, they pile over to the other side
to say hello to the police officer sta-
tioned there, Officer Rob. Trolley driv-
ers ring their bells for the dogs, and
the manager of a local tavern brings
out treats. The dogs just go nuts.
Not long ago, the local paper did a
story on us, so everywhere I go, peo-
ple recognize me. “Hey, you’re the guy
with the dogs and that green car!”
I first fell in love with Triumph cars
in the 1970s. At the time, everyone
was crazy for muscle cars, but I loved
little British sports cars. I bought my
first for $250 while in college. It had
no heat, no defroster, but I drove it all
year round in Massachusetts. I bought
a Chilton manual, which is like a
“Computers for Dummies” book today,
only for cars. Using that book, I
learned how to do all the work on the
car myself.
I bought my current TR6 in 1996
for $4,000. It is British racing green,
the most desirable color for Triumphs,
because in the early days of racing,
British cars competed in green paint
(as opposed to red for Italy or blue for
France). There is a cult following for
Triumphs today. They are beautiful,
easy to fix, not too expensive, and a
blast to motor in. Just ask my dogs.
