<p>Glen. Good memories Did you make use of that Minor front
grill surround? The rest of that Minor went to a local guy's
second Minor Toyota GTS powered ratrod pickup. My Mini is still
going even after the Ozark slalom. I DO miss the banter we all
had. But... moving on.</p>

The list has certainly changed over the years. Finding my first
5 speed from "Crash" Ramsey, advice from Frank, Buster Cluster,
Holy Sprite. I even remember taking a bit of crap from Ed for
adding a dab of solder insurance on my taillight bullet
connectors. More accurately, "getting" crap from Ed, I didn't
take it and soldered away. My lights have never failed. </div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature"> The Morris woody that delivered the
home brew to Bustercluster is still our beloved grocery-getter.
The oil spots next to the driveway where the Holy Sprite began
its journey from California have long since faded. The Austin
A35 has moved on and a 62 Mk1 Mini and a 59 Morris stake-side
flatbed now have joined the fleet.</div>

<div>Reading through all of the sad recollections of
interactions with Just Ed Kaler and then seeing
The World's Largest Spridget Driver's comments,
showed me how many "old guys" are still hanging
around team-dot-net. Way before web-based forums
and FakeBook groupies, this was the place I would
pilfer government time on the email server and
develop my earliest spridget friendships. Just
seeing all your names was a trip down memory lane.
And Chuck, you don't actually SIT on an
Aeromacchi, do you?!<br>

on Sunday spending some time rummaging through
his fathers parts collection. We spent some
time discussing the lack of spirited list
conversations compared to 20 years ago. A
number of noteable names were discussed. I'm
now realising why the list seems so quiet.
Quite a few of the people we discussed have
passed away. Frankie reads things posted here .
I told him I miss rants like "donkey dung fired
Chinese forges making moss repros". Or "crap
harbor freight knock off tools that fail in a
day at a job site" ! That and i remembered
Montana Bob...who could forget those blistering
exchanges? The Valentine's LBC rallies. And
the moving of people's cars they bought across
the country from one trailer to another until
the car got to it's New owner. Following these
events and participating brought us together
tighter than some families. Even sprite sprees
were well attended. That was then.<br>

And I'm still ferrying around cars , fiddling
with saab's and spridgets, locating missing bits
I need and slowly working my way back onto a
race track near you!<br>
