I have several Spridgets, and literally just finished this minute buttoning up a race motor for my vintage racer. Here's the motor as it sits. It's....very fast, more than double stock horsepower, and well over 100 ft lbs of torque (technical, I know!).

> I enjoy reading the conversations on the list, but much of it is a bit too technical for me!! I was given great advice from this list and another one when I asked guidance about tires. I have now bought new tires for my Midget, and will get them put on asap when the weather improves.  I have to get help with them because my 1973 Midget has wire wheels. I have joined an MG Club in the Chicagoland Area, and hope to also get guidance from them regarding some things I need to get done on her. I am grateful that the list is there for guidance and support. I would like to hear what fun things people are doing with their Spridgets and any accomplishments they make. Also would love to see pics of the Spridgets and what people have done to them.
