To keep my dachshunds from going ballistic each time someone comes to the door, I simply open the garage and camp out there with the candy and wait for the trick or treaters. Ok, I admit, it's a lot of fun watching the kids' eyes grow big when they see the Sprite in the garage, because most of them have never seen anything like it. I get a lot of "Wow, cool car!" comments, and one kid who thought "You have a great house!" while staring just at the garage. I even get a few comments from the parents. I have yet to have anyone properly identify the car, though. I always get the "Is that an MG?" -- referring to the MGB, not a Midget. Then I have to explain what an Austin-Healey Sprite is and its similarity to the MG Midget. It happens so often that I've been sorely tempted to get personalized tags for the Sprite that say "NOTANMG"
Between the trick or treaters, I was able to squeeze in a little bit of preventative maintenance, checking fluid levels, and starting to assess the car for its winter maintenance. While poking around, I found the source of a vacuum leak. I thought the connection at the carb end of the vacuum line was solid. It's wiggling enough that air is obviously escaping. I also started browsing through the shop manuals regarding interior repairs, which will be the focus of this winter's overhaul.
