While I was noodling around today, I discovered (by accident) that the PDLJMPR website is still up!

It was first put up in '96 which makes it one of the oldest Spridget (and probably British car) website. Funny to still see it and look through some of the links (some still work). I probably first saw it around '98.

And there are lots of useful tips from Frank C that can be found at that site.
 
That would be an "ancient" web site. Things were very different on the web in those days. I had my first web site at that time and awards were being given for the most popular sites. And there weren't more than a few million sites. Searching for sites was more hit and miss and the best way to get traffic was to link with other sites, the more the better. Now it doesn't seem important to link to other sites. I remember how excited I was when I got my first customer from that web site and how it progressed to generating most of my business.
 
Les Myer, the PDLJMPR website guy, lived in my hometown when the site was started, I don't remember if I ever met him, but my brother, more of a Sprite guy than me (I really like them and have owned 3, brother loves them and have lost count of how many he has had) knew him. Certainly brings back memories, I think he moved away not too long after the site was started, but I remember when PDLJMR and the Scions of Lucas and the Monster list (of parts vendors) were some of the first brit car stuff on the net, kind of weird to me to look back nostalgically at the internet.
