[Tigers] Original Tiger Port of Entry and Sales Information

[Tom Witt]

I've seen that picture too. Given I have  XXXX0101 I wondered if my car 
was in that picture. I believe I saw it on Norm's Rootes1 website. I 
went there (Rootes1.com) this morning and I couldn't get in. Still can't 
get in this evening. This is what I get, "www.classictiger.com refused 
to connect." Makes me realize how old most of the Tiger sites are..., 
and how old we are all getting.
