[Spridgets] MG 2009

[Kitterer Bob]

In my much younger days we did not give a moments thought to doing 2K+  
trips and indeed did them.  But have to admit that the car with me has  
not seen a trip that size in some time - - just do not want to concede  
that I can not still do it - - - - although the reality maybe the car  
can and I can't.
