I agree
100%, my Gitane is perhaps not bottom rung but you can see the bottom rung from there! It's "restoration-mod" anyway, wrong year for a Simplex 543 and 1x6 set-ups did not exist then. but, I'd be kicking myself if it turned out a, say, 2-week wait would change my options on decals. Sounds like I'll likely end up installing the foils.
By the way, that Mustang photo, that's a lot of lead balancing weights on the right front wheel! One wonders if it was a junk wheel, or junk tire, or...???
The Tiger is the only car we have with no rack for bikes, we have those on the Honda S2000 and the Porsche Boxster. That said, if an over-the-counter 1-1/4" hitch was make to bolt up (the only Tiger I know of w/a hitch was hand made) I would not mind having one, for a plug-in bike rack or to tow the kayak trailer.
