     I have a video titled 'Ticket to Ride' and one of the sequences is a 
     lap around  a track(Laguna Seca?) in a road racing Tiger.  It's 
     disappointing in that you don't see what the car looks like, just the 
     drivers view and commentary as he takes a lap. Most of the tape is 
     just like that, a view of a circuit from the drivers viewpoint with no 
     shots of the car itself. I found mine in a video store for $10.00.

        About a week or two ago, someone ( sorry, can't remember who ) said
they might be producing a Tiger
video and was soliciting suggestions for it's content.
     
        Don't know about anybody else, but I sure would enjoy a segment
with quality video/audio filmed from inside the cockpit while someone was 
driving their Tiger.  Maybe they could have the videocam mounted to a 
rollbar or the side of a helmet ........and if the equipment was of the 
right type, maybe remote microphone(s) could be placed on the dash or 
wherever you could properly pick up all the cockpit sounds ( engine noise, 
gear whine, etc ) without being overwhelmed by wind noise ( assuming of 
course that the car is being driven with the top down. )  There would be 
some experimentation that would have to be done, and some hurdles jumped to 
get the video/audio quality just right, but I'm sure that some of the more 
creative types could overcome these obstacles.
     
        Use of a good quality videocam and hi-fi stereo sound would be a
real plus.....
     
        Larry Wright lent me a videotape about a year ago that highlighted
the Sunbeam line, had some vintage video of races, etc.  My favorite 
portion was footage taken from inside a Tiger.  The only problems 
were....that the segment was too short, and the segment was shot with 
1960's  quality video/audio equipment.
