One of the guys is flying over from England to do the drive. They are asking all Spridget owners to join them and go along for some or all of the trip or at least meet up along the way. They plan to take three weeks to do the drive and visit all of the Route 66 interest points on the road.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.mgexp.com/forum/mg-midget-forum.3/revised-route-66-spridget-run.4537548/">https://www.mgexp.com/forum/mg-midget-forum.3/revised-route-66-spridget-run.4537548/</a></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.mgexp.com/forum/mg-midget-forum.3/route-66-spridget-relay-rally-spring-or.3845157/">https://www.mgexp.com/forum/mg-midget-forum.3/route-66-spridget-relay-rally-spring-or.3845157/</a></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Unfortunately, I don't have a driveable street Spridget at the moment and live 350 miles in the wrong direction from the trip starting point.

Ron,</div>

<div>The Sprite was introduced in 1958, the Midget in 1961.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We need a national Spridget gathering to celebrate the 65th Anniversary of these cousins.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The 65th years would be 2023 for the Sprite and 2026 for the Midget. Owners are aging out of the hobby (or worse) everyday it seems, so we shouldn't wait too long. We should maybe split the difference and start planning for a gathering in mid 2024. That gives us two years to work on things.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Just waxing nostalgic over how social we used to be before social media. Honk if you remember Bustercluster, Spridgetstock, Holy Sprite, OSHIT after OSHIT? We need a reunion of sorts. Does anyone know what happened to Buster? The name Robert Evans isn’t good cybersleuth material in the internet. </div>
