I just got through the home door and thought I should say something positive about SUNI V111. To me, it was awesome. I met or reconnected with famous posters here, i.e. Dan Walters, Dan Richardson and Bill Blue. I met other SAOCA members who like me, read the posts but stay a little quiet. I met many lumineries of the Tiger world (and not afraid to tell them my Alpine was my primary vehicle and my Tiger was an amusing distraction). I learn volumes of information from both sides. I was happy that everyone was friendly. I work with Dave on his race Alpine several hours to changed his starter. I lent my tools to Doug Jennings (and got in the way) as he and Dan W. diagnosed and verified a broken retainer pin on the distrbutor drive gear on Howard's SVRA race Tiger that had been towed in from a marque parade. To be fair credit goes to one of us in the peanut gallery that suggested "distributor?" The cruise (~300 mi. RT), tours, museums, auto-x, and concours were excellent and well run. Organizers Claudia and Buck Tippel deserved the ovation they got at the banquet. The Parts Room was well stocked and saved the two above-mentioned car-troubled folks by having the parts they needed. Kudos to Eric G., he a factor in Tiger Alpine parts. There was a lot of knowledge in that room. Thanks to the many folks thank kept the meet moving along. Because of them (wish I could remember all their names) I had a wonderful time. Wish the interval between SUNI was less than five years.
