Jay:
I love your thoughts on driving
a TIGER and with your permission will often
quote it as the best description of what
I feel . . . your dad would be proud.
As to those who have never ridden
in a TIGER, drop by and you can drive mine.
I encourage every TIGER owner to
let anyone who is interested drive their car.
I now have three people who had
hardly heard of TIGERs who now own one after
driving mine. This is the best way to promote our fascination
for these
wonderful little beasts.
For all of you with TIGERs that
are works in
progress all I can do is encourage you to go at it one part at a
time, one
or more parts every day. Doing this for three years I built my car
from a
junkyard wreck that was missing from behind the front wheels forward
into a
car that I have driven for twenty years. We have driven it for 60,000 long,
hard and fast miles in all kinds of weather including rain, sleet and snow. Of
the
300+ cars that I have owned the TIGER is the most fun to go down the road
in. When
it is worn out I pray that I will have time and energy left to
restore it and
do it all again, and if I do not then perhaps like Steve
Laifman my son will
take it over.
Godspeed in Safety Fast
