You called us the "underdogs"
Truth of the matter is that Spridget people are "REAL" down to earth
friendly people. The following is a quote from a good friend of mine who
owns a big Healey. It was said at Sprite Bash 93.
"You Sprite guys are truly genuine down to earth people, you take parts
off you own car to fix a total strangers car! You can open someone elses
bonnet with out them having a fit! Nobody is trying to stab anyone in
the back. And you have fun with your little cars!"
I didn't say it, I'll just never forget it!
