Hi All,

Poop happens, but some of us are allways hoping for the best.


So I believed when I heard about a prisitine hardtop off a concourse Tiger
that had been stored since 1985 was now for sale for $1,500. The problem was
the hardtop was 1,000klm away. I spoke with the seller who assurred me it was
pristine with maybe one or two small spots needing attention and most seals
either OK or with replacements supplied. Calling local club members reassured
me that the guy had been a club member and reliable.

OK______ All systems go, sent a cheque to cover purchase._______ Orgainised
for one of my sons to join me for the trip.

after bloody long trip over 1.5 days, and an initial check, I returned with
the top. Fantastic appearance including clear perspex side and rear windows
with initial factory stampings, a very good head lining and most seals in very
good condition.

At HOME

OH________ ********++++++///, found 4" of bog covering a bloody big hole at
the lower corner of the rear side window, what wonders await me next????



Hope everybody's having fun,
Regards,
Steve Graham
