[Tigers] The small world of Tigers

[sralsten at ca.rr.com]

A short story that I for one find COMICAL. Last week I posted a question asking if anyone was using the Parrish Plastics HT. I didn't disclose my reason, which was this. I bought a car with one attached and quickly removed it with no intention of putting it on again. I paid no attention to how it was installed I just took it apart no notes no pictures. I recently decided I would use it for one more winter but couldn't recall the setup of the aluminum brackets/tornbuckles on the sides. I was hoping to find someone I could ask.

I get  a couple responses and one from Richard (RB) who send me a picture of a red Tiger with the Parrish top on it asking me "Is this one ?" I was thrilled and said yes, is that your car ? He said no it was one he had taken a picture of at the Tulsa Mid America meet, never found the owner.

By this time it is the next day and I can't see the picture he sent as it is on my home computer. I start wondering how many red Tigers in Oklahoma could have that same top?  Richard offers to send me all the pics he has of that car. When he does I see that it is MY CAR from a year before I bought it. I purchased it in Oklahoma City and amoung other things it still has the Mid America Cobra decal on it.

The really funny part is after being sent pictures of my own car taken 1 year before I owned it is that one of Richards shots shows exactly what I needed to see to refresh my memory.

So thank you to my PO for showing the car that weekend and thank you Richard for tryingto help by sending an "Is this one ? photo which led to the picture I should have taken myself before removing things.

It;s a small world and a good lesson learned by me to photograph before removal in the future.
