Subject: Hello list!
I'm just joining this new list. My name is Jeff Boatright, I have a '65
Sprite that has a 1275 engine but is otherwise stock. It's a daily driver,
not in great shape, but fairly safe and pretty quick. I've just completed a
master cylinder rebuild. This and refurbishing the wire wheels have been
about the only work the car has needed since I bought it in May. Email me
if you're contemplating either operation, I'll be happy to pass along what
I learned.
Last night was the first time I got caught in the rain without the top up.
I was returning from the monthly meeting of the local AH club (23 miles one
way). Surprisingly, as long as I was able to keep the speed up, I did not
get that wet. Stopping at lights was a real pain. The other chapter members
probably think I'm crazy for driving around with the top sitting in the
garage, but hey, I'm a forgetful guy.
Does anyone have suggestions for a "cool" looking cap that also keeps ears
warm? My wife says that she will let all of the air out of my tires if I
even attempt to wear my neoprene biking headband/ear warmer while in the
Sprite. (I look just too stupid -- ok, even more stupid than usual).
Looking forward to conversing with you,
Jeff
