Well I have a MkIII sprite ("bubbles") that I use as an every day driver. It
takes me
on both short and long trips on a regular basis and I always have faith it
will get
me there (and back).
Before bubbles, I had a MkIIA sprite ("James") that both my wife and I used
for primary
transport.
As long as you are prepared to do regluar and routine maintanence then there
is
no magic to a reliable spridget for daily use.
If you thrash it or compete in it that's a different story.
Mike
