Mark Kim - a new car too?
 (United States) Modified By Rob Lay  on 4/13/2010 11:03:16 AM)

Hearing all the SRX7 guys are in collectible car acquisition mode.  Y'all need to fess up!  Lets all go do a Saturday evening cruise-in show.

I'm just moving some of my vast financial instruments into "hard" assets.....  Wanted to save it for the October Car show - better win with this or I'll know you guys are too Ferrari biased...  Gotta love a big 289 in a Miata sized car.   http://www.fantasyjunction.com/cars/842-Sunbeam-Tiger%20Mk.%20IA-289%20c.i.%208-Cylinder  A friend's dad had one growing up - got to drive it once, then he sold it to keep us alive....

Gonna be driving my daily driver for a few more years....  Sucks to wait for the trucking companies to get it here.  Can I borrow your enclosed trailer?

Appears Buddy talks too much :)  Figured I would surprise everyone.  Becky is a saint (although she did take her pound of flesh along the way....)

I've got a second cousin that restores nothing but Sunbeams in Dayton, OH. If you want a Tiger Automotive shirt lemme know and I'll bring one with me to the next race.

Wow... Now I see what Rob is talking about!

Nice car Mark! Holy crap thats beautiful, good job!  So that's what floats your boat...

 I just bought a 1974 Porsche 914 wide body with a nice revy RAT 2270 motor :)))) I'ts actually a POS but I'm working on it, looks great but it has issues. It just floated my boat, It's not a show car but a driver.

I was stupid enough to fly to Indianpolis, pick it up and drive it home, Funny thing happened, I met up with GREG SCOTT in St.Louis Saturday night - go figure!!

Definitely interested in the shirt!  Will probably need some parts and advice once I get it here, so appreciate the heads up.  Robs event will be an epic battle for first....

Sign me up.

I want to see that Porch and the Tiger.

 

Mark, I think I have a Sunbeam Alpine original shop manual in my  "to ebay" stack.

Seems like I may have something also specific to Tigers hmmm.
