[Tigers] !964 Le Mans Tiger Slot Car

[Buck Trippel]

Out here in Southern California we're pretty lucky. We have our Spring & 
Fall CAT swap meets for Tiger & Alpine parts.

In the past we've had sellers from as far away as Texas bring in a pick-up 
truck full of Tiger parts. At our last swap meet an Alpine parts car 
(roller) sold for around $200 & that included delivery. I'd guess we had 15 
"vendors" at that one. My wife
"cut me off" when my purchases neared 4 figures. (But I got two really nice 
sets of wheels, a dual point distributor plus...)

Our next swap meet comes up next month.
