[Tigers] tiger originality / authenticity

[MWood24020 at aol.com]

That is utter horseshit. When TAC came into existence, Tigers  weren't 
worth enough to justify your assertion. It was about preserving the  integrity 
of the marque.

Yeah  except I remember all the discussion when the idea of tac came about.
The  reason for tac is and was about preserving value.   Bucks.
All  this altruistic crap is pretty amusing.

It is quite disgusting to think that  there are people would actually 
convert
a car of any kind for the purpose  of stealing money from the poor buyer who
thinks he or she is getting the  real deal, whatever that might be.  The 
fact
that the TAC program  exists is nothing more than a testament to the 
lowlifes
who would create  bogus Tigers to make a profit on some poor guy who will
never get his money  back. I got mine TACed so that my car will forever be
branded for what it  is (a MK1A), even though I won't be selling it.  I 
would
recommend to  everybody to get their cars TACed.  It would be really nice to
be able  to get all surviving Tigers in the world on the registry.

The opposite  side of the spectrum is the guy who frowns at a car because 
the
owner has  made small, reversible changes to personalize a car to his or  
her
liking.  I say do what you want to your own car, as long as you  don't do
anything that can't be reversed.  If it needs repairs, major  or minor,
repair it, though.  Mauro
