[Spridgets] Andy Seipos in Classic Motorsports

[David Lieb]

I was wondering whether any of you guys read Andy Reid's column on page 29 
of the current issue (March 2008) of Classic Motorsports. He starts out 
explaining that, being 6'4" tall, there are a lot of cars that he would love 
to own that simply are not comfortable. He goes on with a list of such cars, 
including various Ferraris, Mercedes, Lamboghinis, pre-C5 Corvettes, Alfas, 
Triumphs, MGBs, Miatas, etc. I was a little miffed that he hadn't bothered 
to mention Spridgets. Then I got a couple paragraphs further and found this 
bit of text:
"With the exception of the XK8 and XK Coupes, as a rule Jaguar sports cars 
are too tight. Fortunately there are many other British classics that are 
comfortable for me -- astoundingly the MG Midget and Austin-Healey Sprite 
are on that list. (Note that I don't fit in the Big Healeys, Just the 
Sprite.)"
Works for me ;-)
