It is my understanding that the R & P steering on the Tiger was not
quite as nice as one might think. Evidently mounting it in front of
the engine gave the Tiger some squirrely handling characteristics. I
had always thought the Alpine was supposed to handle better. Then
again, I've been wrong plenty o' times before.
