I know similar things have been done, but, in honor of ol' Montana Bob, I
was thinkin' we should start some spridget list talk. Here are a few
definitions that have come to mind after some most enjoyable Sprite thrashing.
Patina = the grunge you can't clean
Ground Clearance = more than a mouse, less than a skunk
Concours = something you shouldn't fix
Cobbled = you tried to fix it as original (see restored)
Upgraded = cobbled using a part from a Japanese car
Bodged = used a part from a Chevy
Blow by = superior upper cylinder lubrication
Sun visor = that 1-1/2" strip of aluminum above the windscreen
Valve seals = an indicator the engineers knew they forgot something
Restored = who's asking?
More...?
