80's West Coast

[rezqu44]

Found a bunch of pictures from the early 80's in my dads things. Would love to see a group like this on the road somewhere! The biggest group of Sprites I ever see is if mine all happen to be in the same place!

Thanks Nate... someone checked out my pages, huh?

That 1st parking lot pic posted by rezqu44 is the Vista Point parking lot at the North end of the Golden Gate Bridge. The second one looks like it's near Ocean Beach.

Well, my Sprite looks pretty much the same almost 30 years later, too bad I don't!

"Sprite Fest" was a great event, thanks to the hard work of Rick Moses. Hard to believe it was all brought together through newsletters and telephone calls before the days of the internet. Here's a summary of the event:

I enjoyed being part of the group that celebrated the 50th birthday of the Sprite at Lake of the Ozarks. We had a good many cars but i don't recall how many.

My car was there with its previous owner, great to see those pics. Makes me wish I could unearth all of its previous life.

One more year to the 60th! Who's going to pick up the torch!

I was at the Sprite 50th but driving a Midget that I wasn't proud enough of to get in any pic's! We had the bright idea to watch the auto-cross from up on the hill....completely forgetting how voracious Missouri Chiggers are!!

Great pic's, Gerard. You going to make the next one???

Thanks Kurt, Glad you enjoyed them.

Would be nice if I could get my car done by then; don't see that happening. I haven't heard of anything being planned... is there?

Nothing planned that I know of but there should be! If nothing is planned for the 60'th maybe it could be combined with MG 2018. Has that been decided??

I was thinking of making MG 2017 and visiting again with Bill M. but commitments here worked against that. That and my plan to drive Cal #1 were dashed by the land slide. One of the items on my bucket list is to drive the coast road once again in a nicely sorted Brit roadster.
