John, I don't use FB. Do you have a contact for the show?

Toyanvil · Feb 19, 2021

I saw this and thought of you.
This is from FB
Dave Stopworth, the superbly talented artist who created the Alpine/Tiger below has given us kind permission to use his picture as our Group Photo. And this is from Dave
I have spent a lot of time on this. This is my design and rendering of "modern concept" Tiger. I am opening myself up to a lot of criticism here because concept cars of legends tend to get very mixed opinions. But I wanted to share and get your thoughts.
Design rendering is a self taught hobby, and being a passionate Tiger and Alpine fan, I couldn't think of a better project.

John,
That is a very nice right hand drive car, a google search netted nothing about this well kept secret.
Thanks for sharing.

I found that to be a rather weird engineering together of older Sunbeam style items (tail lights and bumpers) onto a concept car. Interesting but the bumpers would never make it past the DOT safety requirements. Fun to be creative though.

Not able to do much lately due to rotator cuff. Surgery was done yesterday. looking for a speedy recovery (fingers crossed)

Therapy is your friend. Take time to heal, don’t over do.

belmateo · Feb 28, 2021

Thanks Mike!
I was able to remove the bulky bandages this morning and tapering off the pain killer. The hardest part is using the hunt and peck method to type.
Thanks for the good advice.

Surgery was last Friday, just got back from the pot-op office visit. Stopped taking the Oxcycodone Monday morning and was advised that the arm needs to stay in the Sling for 5 weeks. Oh well, better to let it heal properly. Will start physical therapy next week.

Keep up on the PT. My wife had her rotator cuff done several years ago. It ended up being too tight, and they had to knock her out and manually wrench the shoulder around to loosen it up.

belmateo · Mar 5, 2021

Ouch!
I Hope she is doing better now.
Will definitely obey Dr. Orders.
Thanks

Yes, she came out fine after the manipulation.

Finally got the 6 disc remote CD changer mounted in the trunk, works perfectly! Will take some pictures next time we have a break in the rain.

Reversing lamps is one option...

of course one could argue that That type of lamp made things go backward. ( shades of Back to the Future? )

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Thanks John for the update on the show that is now scheduled for August.

belmateo · Mar 22, 2021

Somebody should do this conversion to an Alpine!
Check out the track times.

John, that is about a three hour drive for me if I can drive a stick shift with a bum arm. I have until the 25th to register. Have you been to that show before?
