I have not posted too many trip photos of Tigger, but I was out this weekend at a freinds on Camano Island, WA and he told me about a spaceship type piece of art a guy built at the end of his driveway and I figured well good first road picture.

Here is the spaceship



Here is Tigger waiting for the alien leader.....

I'm not sure I'd go that far, but definitely up there as one of the two top Sci-Fi films from the era. The other being _Forbidden Planet_. There's a lot of good Sci-Fi out there. Too bad there is many, many times more bad.

Don't park Tigger too close to that thing...the aliens will return and they'll take your MINI instead of their POS spaceship!
