I just wanted to take a moment to say how thankful I am for all of you. At this time last year, I had no idea or inclination that I'd become an LBC owner. Heck, even six months ago, I had no idea. Then I spotted what I thought was a Midget with a For Sale sign. At first, I paid it little attention, but each time I drove by, my interested level increased. Finally, I said to myself "If the car is still there this time, I'm going to stop". Well, it was, and the Midget turned out to be a Sprite, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The Sprite belonged to Longbridgehealy, and he recommended this site. So, first and foremost, I have to thank him for being an extremely gracious previous owner and seller for helping me learn the ropes with these little cars and for pointing me in this direction.
As all of you know, these little cars are definitely "Hands On", and most of my experience in that regard was with bicycles (and a smidge of aircraft restoration). In other words, I had only a faint clue what I was getting myself into. Without your guidance and advice, the Sprite would not be nearly as enjoyable, both from a tinkering and driving standpoint, as it has been. Nor would have it played the role that it has had in my daughter's life. For that, I am very thankful.
I look forward to sharing many more experiences with everyone here at BCF in general and the Spridget forum in particular. Happy Holidays everybody!
