Just a public note of thanks to Gary Schotland & the many people who put
on the United down in sunny Florida. We had a great time with the drag
races, concours, cruise night, autocross, great parts room, tech sessions,
etc. I'm only sorry I had to leave before the banquet, so I didn't get to
hear the winners (or get a door prize).

There were some 50 plus Tigers & Alpines there (a Rapier & Alpine GT too).
Jim Morrison's Tiger was tops with those dual F4B's sitting under the
hood. Someone asked why 2 carbs and his response was, "because I couldn't
fit THREE!". Works for me.

I'll let Gary or someone else provide a more detailed write up, but if you
were in the southeast area and didn't make it, you really missed a great
event. Weather was perfect, people were great, cars were awesome. Can't
wait till the next one. Thanks again to all of you who planned and the
great hosts in Orlando.

I'd like to second Bill's note of thanks to those responsible for
organizing the TE/AE United; Gary, to be sure, and also to John and
Jean Webber who were very gracious hosts and organizers. There were
many others that I hope will be recognized later in this and other
forums.

As a newcomer both to Tiger ownership and to TE/AE it was a very
valuable experience and rewarding in terms of the friendliness of
everyone there and their willingness to share their experience and
technical know-how. I wasn't able to drive mine there since-- as
I've posted before-- I'm in the process of tearing it down for an
appointment with the body shop next week. But having the opportunity
to get up close to so many Tigers (Alpines, too) and look them over
(under, inside, and out) and talk to the owners was very instructive
and inspirational. I hope I can recapture that feeling when I'm
struggling with putting everything back together next spring!
