A Tiger out of its Cage

AM Golf MK2 up to Glevering to get the Tiger out at last - but first I had to help with garage metalwork. Good news was that the Golf started first time.

Then after the work was complete (several hours later) a run to a pub - again in the Golf and again it started first time both times.

Then eventually it was Tiger time. Some 'plus gas' down the carb and it quickly sprang into life.

A short run down the drive and back (well that's almost a mile) - and it sounded great. The American V8 might have something to do with that. Then a bit of fettling at the workshop and I 'drove' it back.

The seating position is different (and not in a good way), the gears are floppy, the steering is very stiff and probably a bit seized, as is one brake disk, oh and the exhaust hanger is broken. But we're getting it there. 

First impressions then - I'll keep the Alpine.

Home time and the Golf started yet again and flew home in the fading sunshine. A Nice Day.
