I wrote this up yesterday morning but it seems to have been lost in cyberspace. 

After searching for a car for months I now have one. At least I will when the 
truck delivers it next week. I purchased #B9473720 LROFE from Carroll Eeds last 
Sunday. I would like to say a big thanks to Andy Walker who put Carroll and I 
in touch. Also to Patrick King and Mike Laurence who looked at pictures to help 
advise me and most of all to Norm Miller who has been patient and willing to 
take time to share info on every car I asked him about.

This car being an LRO car was most certainly originally sold in Europe carrying 
Alpine 260 badges and Alpine script. I've said a few times that my interest is 
in staying completely stock. It has the Alpine 260 badges. We'll see how 
serious I am. It will be hard to remove the Tiger script on it now and replace 
with Alpine but I think I can do it.

How ironic after allthe effort to learn about and avoid Algers to finally end 
up with a factory built Tiger that properly should wear Alpine script.

I hope I can manage to do as well with the car as Carroll has for the 34 years 
he's owned it. Heres a couple pictures.....
