RE: non tiger

["Theo Smit" <theo.smit@dynastream.com>]

For the last couple of years all the racing I've done has been on foot...
Does that count?

I've been looking off and on for a Toyota Echo to use as a commuter vehicle.
Not much sense in going back and forth in the Tundra all the time. I'd also
consider either a Smart Fortwo (lots of them running around here) or just
riding my bike, except that I have to ferry kids between school and home
three times a week.

It's good to see the smaller-lighter ethic regaining some traction. I'm sure
that the SUV "performance" boom had (has?) Colin Chapman doing about 8000
RPM in his grave.

 Interesting indeed..

Are any other Tiger owners going green?

I bought me a little Honda Insight and having as much fun with it (well
actually more fun right now) than my Tigers and Corvette.
I am getting up to 78MPG!  Saving the planet and saving gas everyday for fun
driving
later...   I have also heard that a southern cal Tiger autocross champion is
now driving
a Prius to work.

Hot rod hybrids may be the next wave:
