Maybe you are also what you did drive. The UK Tiger has a thread where the member guys posted their car history. Always interesting to see how guys tastes led them to a Tiger.

The Tiger is like the Ghia convert for me with much more wow factor. The Ghia verts had built motors kind moderate as they were all daily drivers but the last had a roll bar and dropped front end it was my poor man's Porsche. The Tiger to me is more the poor mans E Type or MB190 SL as I have always been a rag top and rear wheel drive guy.

If You Are What You Eat

If you are what you eat, then my Tiger must be a Chevelle SS396. It seemed to eat a steady diet of them when I was in college in the early 70s.

I have had close to 54 cars .......

I think W is talking real cars here, not your model collection .... just kidding.

BTW I've purchased only 3 and other than the Tiger nothing spectacular. One before and one after the Tiger. Had them (#1)8, (#2)36, (#3)24 years. Inherited the Caddy noted below which was in the family for 50 years.

I had a die cast addiction years ago--when I got close to 150 my wife put the brakes on. haha. Won't even tell you how many hot wheels I have----could have bought another car with what I have spent on die cast cars.

Wow a lot different cars/brands. I just started off with a big Opel and a Fiat 124 spider. After that a lot of Austin Minis/Coopers so I went british. Ultimately several Alpines and 2 Tigers now. But I like Beetles and Try 3 Chevies as well. Especially the grey '55 featured in the movie " two lane backtop" which is one of my all time favorites...

Several motorcycles as well but that's a different story...
