Excuse me? It's not? The MG Midget was the badge engineered bastard
child here, that Sprite came first, and the midget folowed a couple of
years later. He's probably just a huffy "Big Healy" kind of guy.
Some of the MGB & MGA folk get that way too. If any one gave me that
attitude I'd tell them whre to go with their oversized iron in a hurry,
the Sprite/Midget is the littlest of LBC's everything else is a BBC in
comparison...
Drive on and forget 'em
