I thought I would try and
throw the topic off of the Azteck (I think they
are
ugly too) by mentioning
what I heard on a phone conversation with a fellow
Alpine owner last night.
Scott Carothers, a Series IV owner from
Louisville, Ky
was filling me in on all
the Sunbeam activity in his area when he mentioned
a
Tiger that he found
sitting at a local shop. He stopped to check it
out and
learned that it belonged
to some guy who is having it lowered, as well as
having
a set of low profile,
extra wide tires installed (You know, the kind
that stick
way out of the
fenders).....Arrrgggggg!!!! What are people
thinking? I know I
kid around about Tigers
being inferior to Alpines and all that good stuff,
but
this is a real shame.
Tigers steer bad enough, just wait until this guy
tries to
take this thing into a
corner! What a crime!

Being only 40 something, I still remember when I
was 16 and had a Datsun. I wanted glass packs
(braaaap), and wide tires/wheels (can't seem to
turn the wheel), and a Hurst "fist" shifter. As I
look back as a hard core "stock" person now, I can
only shake my head.....
