Just to interject some comedy and humor into the discussion. I was shocked the president of my organization knew what the Tiger was when I parked it in the loading zone in front of his office to take care of some business with him. After he had admired the car from afar, and knowing he was retiring at the end of 2023, he requested a ride before his last day. I agreed.
He owns an Audi TT and is more of a car connoisseur than I would have ever thought. I'm sure his TT is faster, more agile and pleasant to drive.
When he got in the Tiger, his first question was "are there any of seatbelts?" I said no. His second question was "do we need them?" I said "they didn't come with the car and I'm keeping it as original as we got it.
Somewhere mid second gear on a surface street in traffic as I was grabbing third and changing lanes I hear "please don't kill me the day I'm retiring."
Our car sat in a garage for 35 years. As some of you know, when it was tac'd there was a bit of conversation about several of it's features. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what is right or wrong, but the car is real and has some interesting parts that I am trying to learn about. At some point this summer I will continue Our Tigers Story.
