I couldn't agree more. If the hobby of British sports cars is to
remain viable we must continue to welcome new cars as well as new
drivers.
On a related note, I am looking for information on a 5 speed
conversion for a CB Midget ('74 actually) that my 24 year old son and
I are building for him. Iam aware of the Mini Mania kit that utilized
a Nissan 210 from the years '79-'81, but those little buggers are
getting hard to find. Soeone from Tennessee wrote about a Toyota5
speed kit they installed in their Midget. Anyone know about that?
P.S. Ive been having difficulty with my software (Thankyou
Microsoft!) and have sent messages to at least two individuals that
were meant for the list. Thanks for the tolerance, and sorry for the
inconvenience
