[Tigers] Trunk Hinge Spring

[Thomas Witt]

Karl,
  Sorry to say I don't have a spring for you.  But..., if I did, I'd 
outright just give it to you because,

 ' I would set the price so low that only one person from one country would 
ever have a chance to get it.'

 I just couldn't resist applying the counter logic.

Tom
