<<And yeah, my Tiger was as close as I'd ever get to Cobra.>>
When we bought the Mk I, for a grand or so more, we could have bought a 289
Cobra. Dealers had 'em sitting on the lots and they were dealing.
But we already had a teeny-tiny car that was a cramped beast with
uncomfortable seats, a small trunk and bolt-on side curtains. It was an
early Austin Healey 3000. We liked the Healey a lot, and have always missed
it. But . . . compared to the Cobra--and the early Healey--the Tiger was a
nice car.
It still is, and it always will be.
One of my favorite Tiger quotes: "While it is true a pig cannot be made
into a race horse, he can be made into a very fast pig!"
