As Rick know's those Midget's and the Mk 3 Sprite's are my favorite's. I'm full up as well but for that price I'd drag it home if it was closer. The transmission's alone are worth that and I need a good fender.

Not close enough, though. Shipping would at least double the cost (if not more), and even a road trip would be spendy (14 hr drive). Utah's just not near anything. :grin:

Drew, hook your trailer behind that Wrangler and go get it.

Google Maps says it's 865 miles from Gig Harbor, WA to Salt Lake City, UT.
That's a 1730 mile round trip.
Ouch!

Rick nailed it, just too far for me to do comfortably. Now if I didn't have to work and could take a week to do the trip... :grin: Ah well.

We drove down to Fallbrook CA (south of LA) to bring Penny back here, took just two days and about 1400 miles. Two brutal days. Never again. Glad we did it and Penny made it here safely, but we saved no money once you figure gas and hotel stay.

Normally I'd agree 100% with you, but I need to be in money/time conservation mode now so I can finish Penny up before I'm too old to drive her. :grin:

I've no regrets about driving down to bring Penny home, though I would have loved to have another day. Well worth the adventure, though I NEVER want to drive in California again. At least not with pickup truck and long trailer. In miserable traffic...

I shot the seller a note to see if he'd be interested in parting with the 5-speed separately. They're not too hard to ship, and I'd love a spare (already have one dog-leg box in hand).
