Yes tonight I had all 4 of the family's Sprites, Father Jack's Holy 
Sprite, and a crashed Mini I am working on all in my driveway or around it.
My daughter saw a photo op so we shuffled cars for an hour.
The Mini is patched but I am waiting for a new bumper, Father Jack 
needed a starter motor and his "cardinal sin" fixed.
He scrapped the front fender on a lolly column in his garage and I have 
to repaint the spot.
No dent, just his pride was hurt more than the paint I think.
Daughter's Lady Bug is getting it's 3rd engine, Engine # 2 has a bad 
wrist pin so engine #1 goes back in it until #3 comes back from the 
machine shop all new.
#1 is fine but started to smoke after about 1000 miles. It'll do til the 
Spring when the fully rebuilt and 5 speed go in.
Son's Sprite just happened to be here and my 2 are always here. Nothing 
wrong with those 3. (today that is ;)
And at the same time, the guy with the 72 Midget stopped over wanting me 
to patch up the sills on an MGB.
I told him NO! look around, I have too many projects and no room.
I still have the A40 and 3.5 more Spridgets out at the coop.
I'm glad I lost out on the free Brooklyn Bugeye. Some one beat me to it.
