Yep, but then he'd get out and look at the tiger and throw up a little. And he'd remember that it's not only about power to weight ratio, but that the total driving experience and enjoyment factor in also...

Know what Roy's cars have that your Tiger doesn't?

Air conditioning.

Remember that while you're baking at the border crossing.

I've seen 100+ deg F indicated while waiting to cross that damn bridge.

OHhhhhhhhhhhhhh YEA, that is so true. I baked recently driving to TX in the middle of the summer. HUGE suck.

There have been a few Tigers that have been fitted with A/C over the years. I installed A/C in my 67 MGB GT and my M535i. Not in my desire bucket at the moment.

I'm sure we will find a way to get it down to you Paul.

Of course I am on the East coast, and Jake is on the West coast (and Blunt is way far away, as well.)

You got the box I sent with Killer PM, right?

If you are asking me, no. I do live 3000 km away though and haven't seen him since last TedFest.

As for Jake, this has to be a different one than is the 5erWest organizer.

Darn, I was hoping you had sent the spacers for the bushings up for my E34. Enjoying them on the E28 BTW, to my hand it seems tighter.

Duke · Post by **Duke** » Jun 19, 2012 8:37 AM

Will be prepping the Tiger this weekend as I am in Orlando, FL Monday-Wednesday next week. Hit the road at 0600 Thursday morning on the way to Kalamazoo!
