Interesting in a sort of a weird way.  Perhaps what a NY or an LA pimp might
think a sports car (of some kind) ought to (or should?) look like?
"Tasteless" is a word that comes to mind -- but that's just me.  A waste of
a really nice, fundamental British chassis.  I guess, as a child of the 50's
and 60's I'd rather see a down and out hotrod with eight bugsuckers coming
out the top (grrrrr).  But hey, that's just me.

I'd never do something that radical to my "real" Tiger, but could be tempted
to go crazy with a "mercy save" rustbucket Tiger or an Alpine, but only with
Ford mills and running gear (maybe some Jag?) -- never GM crapola -- been
there too many times -- never, never, never again.

Sorry, but this thing is non-cool in my book -- again, just an opinion.  I'd
as soon start in a junkyard.

(a very opinionated) Tony
