" Better than ANY amusement park ride! "
Maybe, but you only did it one time.
Didn't someone do a survey a year or two back, (I think my memory is
slipping) and the average age of a Tiger owner was practically retirement
age. I for one, look forward to the day when all of us old geezers spend
our time reminiscing about the great old days and the cars we used to drive.
And on occasion, someone may bring up Sunbeam Tigers.

Subject: Re: [Tigers] ACCELERATION DEFINED and Experienced!
On my First Class (Senior Year) Midshipman cruise on USS America, I was able
to get one ride (round trip) on an E2C - the Radar Early Warning Plane. The
Catapult launch is a pretty violent affair, going from O to 120 mph
(relative to the Carrier) in just 2 seconds. The arrested landing is
equally violent, going from 120 mph to 0 (relative to the Carrier) in 2
seconds. Better than ANY amusement park ride!
