While I quite liked the looks of the Alpine when I was in my teens, it was the Tiger that stole my heart! Far nicer than a GT6 - as the Alpine was far nicer than the Spitfire. The Chemistry?Geography/PE teacher at school had a fairly new Spit which he swapped for a nice Alpine - though he did have a Borgward or Moskvich when I first went (I can't remember which - it was nearly 50 years ago!)

Dammit - I'm depressed now :cry:

Thought I would pop in and see how my mate is getting on with his sunbeam tiger I painted earlier this year.
Looking good with some parts back on it.

The bursar at my old school had one of the second "Sunbeams" in the 60s. It was a shame that one of the boy's grandmother bought a nice new Interceptor just after the bursar bought his Jensen: I didn't like the older car much, but the Interceptor was something I could drool over.

Almost as much as that Tiger.

You'll have to watch out if you keep posting porn like that - I read that Microsoft have reported someone to the Police for storing nasty images on their cloud server! They must be trying to outdo Google!
