Gerard, I here you loud and clear, I'm probably going to get in trouble for saying this here, but overall the Spridget crowd is a bit on the cheap side,

Yeah, I'm a member of that club too :smile:

Porsche, now those are the guys that spend stupid money :smile:
 
Promotion guys! You have to promote the products to targeted audiences. I'm in for a set or 14 inch rims as soon as my wife finds out if her job is secure. They are trying to stave off a hostile take over. Unfortunately there are a bunch of short sighted and impatient share holders.
 
Oh I know how to promote, and market, I sell 600-700 wheels a years and it's part time work for me :smile: Spridgets are a slower market in almost every avenue compared t MGBs, for example I bet Will at Rivergate has probably sold as amy MGB 5 speed kits in 3-4 years he has offered them as he has selling Spridget 5 speeds kit in over 2 decades. MGB is the king daddy market of LBC cars, big Triumphs are next, Mini, then Spridget, Spitfire then everything else, but to give you a idea, the MGB market is almost twice ar large as big Triumph. Barry and I both love Spridgets so we want products for them. All the VTO team will be at the Mitty vintage races this weekend at Road Atlanta on vendors row, I'll probably talk to 10,000 people before the weekend is over.
 
Yup, It is pretty obvious at the local British car shows that MGB's are much more plentiful.
 
Ours splits up the Sprites and Midgets, divided we are definitely smaller.
Some local people here have been trying to get the shows to allow all Spridgets to be together but it's tough going.

Trevor,
The Retro 4s in 14 are SWEET! Just picked mine up today.
Bad to the bone. 11.8 lbs. The center cap is shorter than the
Classic 8 one that is on our MGB.
Now to get those nasty 185x60 Dunlops on 'em and get the ol girl
out of paint/body shop.
