Subject: Tanglewood British Car Show
> Was a nice show. Seemed like more cars than the last time I went.
>Spridget turnout was good, but not as many modified cars or 'average' cars

Sprites

be
>'judged' separately, but would rather see them 'displayed' together.
> The (bunch) of Bugeyes were at the top of a hill next to a long line of
>Cobra replicas. The (two) square-body Sprites were at the bottom of that
>hill next to some Jaguars. At least all the Sprites could -see- each
other.
>The Midgets were on the other side of a little building out of sight. But,

>anything else at the show. (How come there're never any English Fords?)
> Managed to talk to Steve & Frieda Byers (Hi!) next to their '73, which
>looks like it hasn't been out of the showroom for more than six months;
>even though I know it's driven regularly!
> Saw a sweet, dark red Bugeye with Carol Coulter's name on it, but didn't
>find her next to it. (I think she's on this list.) Since I've never met
>her I didn't recognize her wandering around.
> I know Robert Weeks was there as a spectator but I missed him; also
>Peter Samaroo.
> Did not recognize any other names from the list; but like I said, I got
>there fairly late.
> Sweetie and I left again about 4:00. The weather had been beautiful and
>so had the cars. We're gonna hafta put Amy's(?) 'Spridgeteer' poster on
>t-shirts or something so we can recognize each other wandering around. :-)
> Ed in NC
>Hi Ed,
SOrry I missed you at Tanglewood.I also had a vendor space there, so that's
where I was most of the time. I did meet Peter, but not anybody else. I have
to say that a vendor space is not the greatest way to enjoy these shows, but
it did help my garage space considerably.Carol.'59 Bugeye.
