Hey Jeff,
I use my Midget as my daily driver, it's the only car I have so I don't
have much of a choice. My bicycle is going to come in really handy
during my upcoming engine rebuild ;-)
I don't know what's up with Frank, but last I heard he had a Pickup Truck
and a Jag, so even if he sells the spridgets all off he won't be hoofin'
it.
