(originality freaks, delete now) What color is the underside of your
chosen soft-top? Mine is black, so (after dipping, not sandblasting, as
I was worried about grit getting stuck in the joints, YMMV) I painted
mine black and I think it looks better. Also, the "bend" the vinyl takes
over the top-most bow looks awfully sharp, so I glued a thin layer of
foam over it and had Susan, my wife, sew some black vinyl over that.
Protects the underside of the top a mite from potential tears. Did it 5
years ago, I've had the top up mebbe twice since then, it works great.

John, it was I that was bidding against you on eBay for a set of uppers.
I give up. Going with SS's, I guess.

Looked neat in a recent magazine photo to me; then again, I like the
original CV8, an acquired taste for sure. I wonder about importation
possibilities and selling price. I wouldn't expect anything to steal
sales from Hyundai, but I'm weary of reading about performance cars in
the $100,000 to $1,000,000 range. Gee, anybody can make a nice car with
that much $$ to play with. Nice thing about the Tiger, it always was
affordable for what you got.

I called Ken last night and they're already gone. I also forgot to ask
him about something that fellow Marylander Wally Swift insisted I talk
to him about, some kind of killer Panhard rod. But to make sure I waited
past California dinner time, I had to stay up past my (East coast) bed
time, wasn't thinking straight.

Finally figured out what to do about "bombing the list"; I had my
personal entries in my Address Book lumped together, so, if I was
chatting with someone about Allards or Facels or Monteverdis (gee,
Tigers aren't the only car I'm interested in), I was one slip of the
cursor from sending the message to the Tiger Folk. It's been fixed, by
moving the List entrie in the Address book. That simple. Again,
apologies.
