I recently purchased a 62' Mk1 Midget and am in the process of getting a great education. I'm retired so I don't consider this a challenge as such, but a dream come true. It's allowing me opportunity to just have fun once again. I spent nearly 40 years working on heavy equipment from the slopes of Alaska to the gulf of Mexico. Now I'm finally home, in my garage, listening to the sweet sounds of my music, paying attention to my heartbeat, and wrapped up in a new passion. This is fun, and I'm learning quickly just how many others are enjoying this newfound freedom as well. I wanted to thank all those who came before me with journals and volumes of information for the rest of us to use and follow. The countless hours of dedication necessary to amass a great resource such as this, my hat goes off to all of you. My new addition I will simply call my "Muttget". If I can figure out how to upload pics of her I'll do that some day....It was born with a 948 but has been converted to a 1098 sometime along the way. An accident somewhere, someplace, sometime has left it with a later model left front fender....hence the raised eyebrow on the left side....but ya know what?.....I just love her the way she is. And I don't have any plans to change her dramatically. I'm just gonna ride along wherever she so chooses to take me and consider myself blessed. This is just practice for heaven the way I see it. Thanks again to all of you for the opportunity to be so blessed....David_George
 
Welcome to the fold!

I hope you have much fun with the new toy.

Check out the spridget forum, lots of good information there. And I can tell you that my daughter would be envious, she wants one for her first car!

Welcome David!
After 37 years, I'm ready to follow your lead and retire too.

Sounds like you have the perfect attitude for a Spridget owner; it's all about the fun.
And who cares if you have an off-kilter fender? My race-Spridget wore a '78 left fender and a 62 right fender for years. Sort of like the big scar on my left arm.....adds <span style="font-style: italic">character </span> :jester:

Best of luck of luck to you with your new project! :thumbsup:
 
Hi, welcome to the Forum - sounds like you've got the perfect attitude for LBCs!!
 
Dave welcome, the most important part of owning an LBC is that it brings you smiles.

Hi There David,

I too am soon to start drawing my SS (May 09). Can`t happen fast enough.

I`ve had the pleasure of owning a ton of LBCs over the years and recenlty acquired a `59 Bugeye in decent driver condition.

The fun for me is getting them purring, detailing whatever can be detailed, pretty them up (Not too much) & then "Drive the Socks" off of them!

Maybe thats why I never seem to keep one longer than perhaps 2 seasons.

In any case; Sounds like you`ve arrived in "HEAVEN" already.

Enjoy your "New/Old" found love,

Regards,

Russ
