<div dir="ltr">Well maybe it's because my e-mail is strange in g-mail. I have just had one reply that contains loads of replies so maybe I'm missing some list traffic?<div><br></div><div>I haven't been on facebook since May and never signed up to the new whatever Facebook wanted me to sign up to. I like hearing about people's projects. Mine seem to make slow progress. The first stainless steel exhaust manifold wasn't a copy of mine and so it didn't fit. The replacement is an exact copy of mine and does fit but has now gone away for coating and isn't back yet. The combined price is eye-watering but when I'm too old to drive my Sprite + a decade, that exhaust will have proven to be money well spent. Heck, I might even be able to tell my wife how much it cost me. I do have to tell my insurance company, along with some photos, to bump up the agreed value on the Sprite. </div><div><br></div><div>The rear suspension project is linked to my making new and improved anti-tramp bars and that part of the project is at the little more filing followed by a visit to the welder who can weld stainless steel stage. But with the garage temps below freezing and all my money spent on the manifold, progress is at a halt.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm glad someone is reading my books - Amazon reviews are always welcome (as a review myself I've got my ranking up to just over 84K). If anyone has read 'A rich girl' e-mail me if you can spot the true stories presented as fiction. Gratuitous kinky sex and bondage aren't in my books, maybe that's where I'm going wrong, on both counts I guess!</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jan 29, 2019 at 7:20 PM brian via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I've been on this list since the 90's under one email address or another.
