Wow! Blast from the past.
Thanks for sharing this Ron. I seem to remember there were some short
videos too. If anyone has any please post a link.
I have had my Sprite for 20 years now. That was a recommendation from Frank
when I almost bought one of his Spridgets via his craigslist ad but it had
already sold. I had emailed him for a tip when his reply was that it was
sold and he said stay away from buying another Spitfire and check eBay for
a Sprite or MG Midget as they were the best LBC's. I found my little Deep
Pink Sprite in Los Angeles a few weeks later and the rest is history. Great
OSHIT people from all around the world. I'm grateful to have met the best
and this list preserves all of their skills and tons of humor too!
Safety Fast Gentleman,
Linda
62 California Sprite "Pinky"
