In this day and age everything comes down to economics. It just isn't
possible to put out a quality magazine for just Spridget owners. There
aren't enough of us out there, or enough advertisers to make it pay. We even
have to join the NAMGBR because there isn't a national club for Spridgets.
OTOH, Bs are a very close relative and I enjoy sharing stories and
experiences with my extended family. At car shows, I spend as much time with
all the MGs and Healeys, and other Brit cars, as I do with Spridgets.
Sprites and Midgets are usually split up at most shows anyway.
So come out to Sprite Spree 03 and we'll have our own gathering! (I wonder
why Midgets aren't included in the name of Sprite Spree? Hmmmmm!)
