Hi Russ, and welcome to BCF! The little man is a new thing and just there to encourage participation in the BCF. We've been online for 18 years but with the advent of FaceBook and the other Social media, we've seen participation decline over the years. Since we have 18 years worth of searchable technical info for little British car enthusiasts, we'd hate to see things slow down to the point that BCF had to shut down due to lack of interest. Thus, the little man thing is just there to encourage folks we know are out there but only lurking to jump in and help us make BCF an active resource for you all.
So, now that you've gotten rid of the little guy, and made a post, tell us a bit about yourself and your British Cars (I'm guessing at a minimum you have a Sprite).
Basil
