Congratulations Allan,
It took me three years ownership to get mine able to cruise across the
country. I tried to drive to CA after about nine months with it and I had
to turn around. The carb was too big and the heads needed rebuilding.
I applaud your audacity, bravery and "into the dark" attitude.
Your "diamond" has a fine owner now and will see any more miles on the road.

MADE IT HOME SAFELY after 3 days on the road with only 2 glitches--loose
wiper
wire and contaminated clutch hydraulic fluid.
The ~2600 mile round trip in my "new" Tiger was otherwise uneventful despite
the horror that is called a freeway in Pennsylvania.
SFAIK this was the first time the car has been overland on its own steam
since
it went out of use in 1892.
That the car powered along so eager to run makes me feel doubly appreciative
that it received the Diamond in the Rough award.
Thanks for your support, and thanks to the organizers for such a great
event.
Allan Ballard
