Boy you guys think the TIGER is dangerous . . . try driving a 56 year old MGTF
suicide doors held closed with funny little cast door latches that usually
only hook on the first notch, a body that is made of more wood than tin, floor
boards that really are boards, no seat belts, a steering column that is solid
and aimed at the centre of your chest. So little power it can not get out of
the way of its own shadow and brakes that might (or might not) stop a soapbox
derby car. Top all this off with a bonnet (held in place with a couple of >
inch long wood screws) and then consider that if you run into a discarded
marshmallow or a stray mushroom on the road the bonnet will most likely break
loose and be aimed at the spot that your head and body are connected. And
remember also that the windscreen is DESIGNED to fold down and in the case of
a rollover the highest point in the car is a spot about 4 inches above you
navel.
So do we care? Na drive em all till the road wears out.
