[Tigers] towing

[Bill Waite]

Another Tiger towing story.  In 1981, when I towed my "not running" Mark II
from Dallas to Denver... I towed it behind my Mark I (stock 260).  Middle of
the summer, over 95 degrees through West Texas.  Never missed a beat, ran cool
all the way (totally stock cooling system, too) and I arrived safely.  A bit
of a miracle, considering I towed it using a tow bar attached to the front
bumper attachment points (don't try this ever).  I was young, stupid and very
lucky.  Now I'm old, not too lucky but still pretty stupid.

I was thinking, and my bride reminded me.
With all of this "Tiger towing" stuff..............
I recall bringing home my Tiger when I bought it.
I didn't have any problems. I brought it home on a flatbed - in pieces - with
lots of boxes filled with parts.
And, when I arrived home, my wife said, "You paid $7,000 for that?"
