I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed by the book. The magic of
this Marque or any other for that matter. is not contained on the
printed page, as Norm will be glad to tell you. It involves a lot
more emotion, dedication and participation than most casual owners
are willing or capable of giving. Should your ownership ever
transcend from simply driving, to life altering experiences, you may
begin to comprehend the magic that this Marque has to offer. Until
that point, enjoy the ride and take care to maintain this special
piece of history. Tigers United XXIX in Santa Cruz, is one of the
places you may encounter other owners that have experienced the kind
of magic I'm describing.
