So my mom brought over this photo of me today. she was looking through some old boxes of family photos and thought i would like it. I will be 28 years old in May, im probably around 13 in the photo. So It was taken about 15 years ago. It was taken at Grove Park Inn in NC. I remember going there but I don't remember standing next to this yellow bugeye. Maybe this one short moment in my life is one of the reasons i am absolutely crazy about spridgets today! Oh and if this is someones car that belongs to the forum, sorry about leaning on your car without permission. I would never do something like that now.
 
Neat! Wish I had more photos of the early days. The best I can do is a shot of me (in about 1957) with my dad at the wheel of his 1956 Austin Healey 100-4 (BN2).
I see "yours" (that one) was a right-hand drive.

your pic is much better than mine! much more vintage, mid 90s isn't exactly ages ago lol. Good catch on the RHD, i didn't even notice that
 
I was very fortunate to receive that very car in about 1971 (all original)... but still kicking myself for letting it go a few years late (though it was close to needing some updating).
 
Not a Spridget, but me with my TR4A around 1967 or 68. I would have been 18 or 19 then. I don't look the same now; I weigh less and have less hair.
