They are in Greensboro NC, I made a remark once on how was it that
Midgets are not as prodominate at the MG car shows, but I always seem to
find Midgets instead. I have found 7 Spridgets versus 2 MGB's in the
last year, including the three I own. What is the deal with this, and
most the kicker is that most of these cars have been complete and less
than $500.
