[Spridgets] Tigers

[Daniel1312 at aol.com]

Ehem,

Here in England there are Alpine Tigers but also Avenger Tigers.  I know 
someone who has an Avenger Tiger and someone that lives around the corner from me 
has one visit one from time to time.  I've come across several racing Alpine 
Tigers but no Avengers.
