[Spridgets] what's the story on Moss'

[Brashear, Jack, N]

Wow, I guess my Mk2 (square arch) Sprite doesn't know that the Minators
it's had since 1993 won't fit or aren't any good.  Guess my Austin
Marina and my AH3000 also haven't heard....  The three sets of Minators
I own have been superb.  But, I only do a little "spirited" mountain
highway driving...no real racing.  Just my 2-cents-worth...

Minators are nothing more than round boat anchors.  You'd be smart to
pay the extra for Panasports or buy my 4.5 width American Racing
Equipment magnesium silverstones.  They actually fit the square wheel
arch without any modifying.
