The Eye of the Tiger. by ladymagpie

The Eye of the Tiger.

My big Brother Alan lives just a few yards from me and I spotted this beauty on his driveway. It turns out it's been made by one of my Nephews and is a Ford Tiger Sport kit car.

For you car experts it's got a Ford Mondeo 2000 GT engine with a back axle from the same car. The rest is a kit which has taken some years to complete.

Oh I can only dream - No not to own this lovely sporty car, but to have the ability to get in and out of the flipping thing, those bucket seats are only inches from the ground and just think of the mess my hair would get into with no windscreen.

I also love the song, "The Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor, hope I've made you sing it now. A must view with a black background.

That's quite an accomplishment for your nephew. Awesome car and yes, I'll be humming that song now.

Nice car. Brought to mind the car driven in the TV series "The Prisoner". Different car, though.

First of all, yay Ford! Of course, an instant fav with me. And then I view it on black and it is Spectacular! I can't believe that came from a kit! Thanks for sharing this capture! (Oh, I should give you some warning that I went to the pumpkin patch today - no worries, the proceeds go to a worthy charity, so all the pumpkins are very friendly)

@miata2u @gilbertwood @kathiecb @quickshots @juliac Thank you all, nice to see you viewing and commenting, Kathie I think I would need to have a shoe horn to get me in that and a crane to get me out again.
October 6th, 2014  
What a grand sports car and such fun to drive in that, I bet.
October 6th, 2014  
@ladymagpie I've got the crane if you've got the shoe horn. Haha
