[Spridgets] Another British Engine

[Kathryn Bales]

As the owner of both an SUV (Jeep Cherokee) and a Midget, I can assure 
you that the Midget will not do well off road in my area. I can take the 
dogs out in the desert for a good run with no danger of them getting hit 
by a car on the road or straying onto private property and getting shot 
by a rancher. Then I can load my jon boat on top, put my fishing and 
camping gear and the boat motor in the back and head for the lake. Thus, 
the sport aspect is covered.

I can drive it out in the field, attaching a cable to the hitch and 
spend the day straightening fence posts and using the Jeep to hold them 
straight while I pour cement in the gaps, then go to the farm store and 
load up a bale of hay, a few bags of feed, and some fence posts. This 
covers the utility aspect.

Later I can drive to work in air conditioned comfort, knowing I can 
easily drive around any trains that are frogging the entrance to the 
yard by accessing frontage roads that come standard with pot holes deep 
enough to bury a locomotive.

For sheer pleasure, I drive the Midget on the twistiest roads I can 
find, taking 30 MPH corners at 70+. That is what a true sports car was 
designed for.
