Lions and Tigers and....



I'll likely become the owner of a 1966 MkIII (?) Sunbeam Tiger 289 V8
(also souped) in some number of years...

I MAY also become the owner of any one of the following vehicles back at
the "old man's".  Unless his kids can talk some sense into him and they
are sold or less...

-  1964.5 Mstg Coupe - all orig.
-  1968 Mstg Covert - overhauled
-  1968.5 Mstg High Cntry Special (CA Special for CO) - in process
-  1985 Toyota Land-mauler - '96 suburban motor transplant
-  1978 Audi 5000 - hood blackened from fire
-  1949, 1950 (2) Ford Country Squire "Woody" Wagons
-  1993 Ford Ranger pu
-  1986 Peug diesel sedan (M?)
-  1996 VW Passat 

While the Tiger definitely wins the "seat of the pants" fun award....
only three of these vehicles are running fairly well.  Any guesses?

Console yourself with the thought that the M3 driver is eventually going
to get
sawed off by some snotty-nose teenager driving a supercharged,
nitrous-injected
adnoH. Think how he'll feel then. 

I've owned some very fast cars in my time, including a Sunbeam Tiger
powered by
a 5 liter V8 on steroids. You know what? There's always been someone
with a
faster car.
