[Spridgets] A MODERN PARABLE -- No LBC

[Michael Conn]

Dave,

When in England I had five of the cars you mention: original Cooper 'S', 
Escort Rally, "7", Cortina and AN5.   With the exception of the AN5 none of 
those cars came within the category of "inexpensive": certainly not when new 
and certainly not by the ordinary driving folk!   I think the spirit of the 
conversation really relates to driving long distances in relative comfort 
with or without wife/children/pets.   Imagine driving from JFK to, say, 
Disney Land in any one of the vehicles you mention!   Oh, dear, oh, 
dear..................

I currently own (and enjoy) an AN5.   (My wife prefers to have as little as 
possible to do with it.   One of my grand-children calls it a motor-bike on 
four wheels.)

Michael
