President’s message

As I mentioned last month, I had just finished the inaugural Mille Miglia Warm Up USA. This event is to prepare future Mille Miglia (http://1000miglia.it/?lang=en) entrants for the big event in Italy. My role was course and road book designer along with timing and scoring. Jackie and several of our friends were on hand braving the miserable weather to handle the timing duties. The event started at the Westfields Marriot Center near Dulles airport and covered over 150 miles along some of the most scenic areas in Virginia, Finalizing the results with good friend, and 13 time Maryland and Washington D.C. North American Rally champion, Mark Williams before finally crossing the finish line on Italian-soil at Villa Firenze, the official residence of the Italian Ambassador to the United States. There were some really great cars and all had a wonderful time. My personal favorite was a beautiful 1954 Carozzeria Touring Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint. 1954 Carozzeria Touring Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Jackie handling the scoring duties Sprint. The event promises to be bigger and better next year. For more information, check out the article and photos from Digest (https://bit.ly/2DWeL3q)

New TAC Inspectors Tom Calvert organized a Tiger Authentication Committee (TAC) training weekend at the home of Clyde and Valeri McLaughlin. Prospective TAC inspectors are Rob Harter, Clyde McLaughlin, Wayne Pierzga and Jim Lindner. Saturday was spent in the classroom with cars on a lift, followed by a comprehensive test. On Sunday, we gathered again and TAC’d two Tigers adding them to the registry. Special thanks goes out to Tom Calvert, our regional senior inspector, for putting this all together.

This month in Rootes Review This month’s issue features the first in a new series about Rare Rootes and their special owners in our club. Bill Bulpitt organized a fantastic gathering of Tigers at this year’s Hilton Head Concours and has a report. Jim Lindner has an update on the Concours judging effort that we’ve been working on with the west coast clubs. Our member spotlight this month is the new Canadian Regional Rep, Gary Corbett. Finally, I’d like to welcome 29 new members to our club! See if somebody lives near you and say hello!

Happy Holidays. See you in the New Year!

► Continued from Page 1 Sunbeams at Hilton Head Bill Bulpitt/ Deep South TEAE Rep

In 2014 we tried to get significantly historical Tiger racecars at Amelia Island and almost succeeded but things fell apart at the eleventh hour. In 2014 some 40 Tigers were assembled at Laguna Seca, CA for some great photographs at the Monterey Historics, but that was not a judged show. My friend David Kirkman is a longtime judge at the Hilton Head Concours, now in its eighteenth year, and he assured me we could “Get Tigers on the Field at Hilton Head” so I started working on that goal in Tigers in Sunday Concours at Hilton Head December 2017. My partner in this activity was Kim involved in the Car Club Showcase assembled at the Barnes of Pylesville, Maryland who is a multiple Hampton Inn to drive enmasse to the nearby Port Tiger owner and also a judge at Hilton Head.

Sunday On Sunday morning the Concours cars were admitted to the field starting about 7 AM. This group of twelve cars were in contention for Best of Class and two Palmetto Awards, based on a rigorous Nick Kintner with his award and Tiger Jim Weddle’s Harrington Tiger judging process.

The winners of the Tiger class were announced in early afternoon. The best in class was presented to Jim Weddle with the 1 of 1 Harrington Tiger.

An Alpine at Hilton Head

Dan Richardson was a special invitee selected to attend and fill one of the fifteen slots Bill Bulpitt had arranged for TEAE at Hilton Head.

As an early invited participant I gladly acknowledged my pleasure with being able to attend as the only Non-Tiger in the Tiger Group. Had a great time joking with the many viewers who took notice of the "SUNBEAM V6 valve covers and the V6 Badges" on my '67 SV Commodore Blue V6. Lots of discussion also because it sports Electrical Power Steering (EPS) and A/C. Nice being a supporting member part of several of the Sunbeam Clubs (TEAE and SAOCA).

They had also not registered it in their name, so I am actually the second registered owner which is kind of neat. After I bought it, I replaced the engine with a spare I had and transplanted several components from my rusty Alpine. I ultimately had a running Alpine for a total outlay of $500. Boy, those were the days! The Alpine ran great for three summers and 15,000 miles, until it suffered a major clutch failure. My then-fiancé (now wife) Maureen was driving it one night through a not-so-nice part of town. She abandoned it where it broke Gary with kids and dog heading out on a daily drive to the park to play

soldiered on attempting what we now call a rolling restoration, fitting in little projects around work and child rearing. Nevertheless, I used the car regularly. (See the kids, dog and I on the previous page!) Over the next 20 years I managed to keep that Tiger running, putting over 45,000 miles on it. However, the steady degradation finally caught up to me in 2006 when I had a clutch problem. When I slid under the car to investigate, I noticed that patches that I had welded into the frame 25 years earlier had disappeared along with more of the After sandblasting, see the structural issues and original metal (which explained why the vent corrosion damage to be fixed on the Tiger windows would move relative to the windshield every time I hit a bump...). I finally had to take the car off the road and dismantle it for restoration. Fortunately we have a good metal man in the Ottawa area, and he and I have been working on both cars on and off for over 10 years now. The picture at the left was taken recently at the shop and shows the fitting the doors and front clip to the Alpine (that’s the other car) in preparation for forming and The Alpine: One of the two cars we’re working on fitting the rear fenders. I'm hoping to have the completed shell home in the Spring so I can get the mechanical work completed and get the car running again. It will be nice to attend Club events in a running Sunbeam!

Estimates In my engineering career I ran across a golden rule for estimating the time to complete a project: Take your original reasonably considered estimate, double the number and then raise the measurement unit to the next highest level. So from that perspective I'm right on target. I figured 6-8 months to get the Alpine finished and it now looks like it will be 12-16 years.

My Favorite Tool Tiger Tom's Real Man's Hand Soap - Tiger Tom

Excels With Really Dirty Hands My favorite tool is HAND SOAP. A special magic homemade biodegradable hand soap that excels in cleaning greasy hands. It's not for sissy's or dishpan hands. It is for the person who has ground in shoe dust with brake fluid and 30 years of chassis grime ground into the hands and under the finger nails. Serious real man grime that none of the over-the-counter cleaners works well to remove! I have never found a commercial equivalent of this magic hand soap or any commercial hand soap that will clean as effectively as my homemade soap. I call it "Tiger Tom's Real Man's Hand Soap!” However, I can not take credit for it. It is a recipe passed down through ever frugal farmers I know.

What is this magic hand soap? Simple. Equal amounts of powdered Tide and cornmeal. I buy a pound bag of corneal and pour into a gallon bottle. Then pour in an equal amount of Tide. Shake to mix thoroughly. There you have it. I pour it into a discarded grated cheese dispenser and keep it by the sink.

To use: (Do you really need instructions?) Liberally wet your hands. Pour one or two heaping tablespoons on the wet hand, add more water and scrub. Rinse well. Remember, when working on your car; If you wouldn't eat off of it, it is not clean enough.
