Giveaway Spridget at Sprite Jubilee 2008

As many of you have discovered each five year SPRITE Meet anniversary I try 
to do something special even a little spectacular to make it interesting for 
those who participate in these SPRITE Newsletter events.  The 50th 
anniversary for the Bugeye should be extra special and I would like to make 
it even more memorable to those of us who love these little cars.

It is my dream for the 50th to give away a Spridget within our little group 
of Meet registered enthusiasts.  I have one more Bugeye that I can give away 
BUT it needs a lot of work.  With the time that remains before our Sprite 
Jubilee 2008 show I was grappling with how I can make this dream come true.

It struck me one day while Sprite dreaming, I have a nice looking red 1968 
MG Midget with chrome bumpers.  I would like to keep it for myself but it 
doesnt need too much to become the give away car for SJ08.

Plus, I still have some Bugeye bonnets.  Putting the two of these thoughts 
together I imagined in my mind a Spridget with a Golden colored bonnet 
sitting on a square bodied car.  The best of both realms .... the first 
Sprite with its unique bonnet and its younger sisters body style.  What do 
you think?????  A nice golden 50th logo on the cars, boot, doors or rockers 
would just set-it-off.

If there is enough help we can put together three gold colored Bugeye 
bonnets.  The second and third bonnet could be second and third prizes if 
you were bummed-out about not winning the SJ08 grand prize The Golden 
Spridget.

I am willing to put a lot of my own money into my dream BUT I cant and do 
not want to do it all by myself.  I have done something special for each of 
the past anniversaries and I will do it again for SJ08 if it is humanly 
possible.

Can we get some of you to help with the build-up of this car and these 
bonnets?  Anything you can or are willing to do will help.  Can some of you 
contact the parts supply houses and your favorite mechanics shop on my 
behalf to help us?  Will you give of your time with me to put this car 
togther?  Time is short!

I will make up a list of what needs to be done and make it available to 
those that are interested.  If you help I would like to place a plaque on 
the vehicle with those people who volunteered their sweat and blood.

Lastly, I want to do this as a nice honor for the Sprite.  I do not want to 
do this as Rick Moses.  I certainly do not want to upset anybody in any way. 
  Sooooooooo, again I need your help so that I can please 99.99% of the 
Spridget world.  Your suggestions as to how to make this Golden Spridget and 
to be fair in giving away this car is what I need.

Can some of you put this information on the internet and into your groups?  
It would be appreciated.

I can be reached in person daily by Nation Wide Toll Free telephone weekdays 
8SPRITE1MK (877-748-3165).  On weekends you can reach me personally via 
mobile phones (717) 379-5752 and Cindys mobile phone (717) 379-5572.  Here

Keep smiling
