Triumph Owners Clubs
Discussion
In my experience the TSSC membership is generally a little older than CTs and more likely to run large shows, camping weekends, etc.
CT members tend to be more interested in modifying cars and the club is more likely to run driving events, like the RBRR.
TSSC have the better magazine and used to have the better forums but they managed to kill them a few years ago and I'm not sure they have managed to catch back up with CT.
TSSC have a 3-company, agreed value insurance panel that's certainly better advertised than any CT one - if it exists.
I've used italics above because I'm in to modifying and driving my car not polishing it and sitting in a field looking at it, and am probably below the average member's age but am a member of the TSSC rather than CT

You can use the CT forum without joining but need to be a member to use TSSC.
I'm a member of both - each have slightly different benefits.
I prefer the magazine produced by CT.
Should be a good TSSC event at Stafford this year as it is 50th anniversary of the Spitfire this year.
The Triumph Spitfire group on Facebook has become quite active these days too.

Greeneggsnsam is a year older than I am, and I'm a fully paid up member of the TSSC at 18! (And was at 16 and 17 ). My car doesn't respond well to polish, due to the general lack of smooth paint on it, but the local TSSC group is a positive hive of help and information!

This is my dilema... I’ve just bought a TR6 and wasn’t keen on joining the TR register because from memory (and what I have heard) is very clicky? So I am trying to weigh up TSSC or CT myself. … I am leaning towards CT for the forum.
FB
I've been a member of the TR register for about 25 years now and although I've only once been to a meeting (so can't comment on cliqueiness or otherwise) I've found it a very useful club. Cheap insurance and a great magazine in particular. At least they all seem to be pulling in the same direction, unlike one or two other clubs I've joined and left. The TSSC used be very good too, but I left that in about 1995 when I got the TR. FB
You can be join the TR Register forum without being a member of the Register - worth doing for the sheer amount of info and help available. I don't find my local Tr Register group at all cliquey, but why not go to your local group meetings for a while and find out? They will let you in without you having to join first.
