[Spridgets] Wild Morris Minor on CL

[Kirk Hargreaves]

Larry,

It sounds like a real thrill to drive.  Glad to hear that the car you
picked up from me was of some value to you. Even with that engine in the
Suzuki it was a fun car to drive.  I cannot imagine what it must feel like
inside of a 1,400 lb Bugeye.

I remember when you came up with the flat bed and I could not find the key
to unlock the steering wheel.  I think, if I remember correctly, that we
busted it loose with a slide hammer . . or something to that effect.


Thanks for the update,

Kirk
