[Tigers] Replacement VIN plate

[Jeff Howarth]

Hi Jay,

they used to have those over here in the UK, they were called NOVA kit cars. I
guess that name was already taken over there.
I friend of mine had one at the same time as I had my Lotus Esprit, the
lifting Nova roof was cool, but mine went round corners a lot better  :-)

I have!!!!

But, and it's a big but, the car was a very unique car.  It was a kit car I
built with my dad called a Sebring - on a VW chassis, but of course for
dad, had to change the engine to a V6.  Here's a link to the car:

It is registered as a VW too.  So when the cop saw me driving, and punched
in the license plate, and it said "VW" on it, he pulled me over.  He
claimed a brake light was out too.  He had me show him the VIN stamped in
the chassis.  But otherwise, we had a good conversation and I didn't get
any ticket.
