   Excuse me?  It's not? The MG Midget was the badge engineered bastard
child here, that Sprite came first, and the midget folowed a couple of
years later.  He's probably just a huffy  "Big Healy" kind of guy.
Some of the MGB & MGA folk get that way too.  If any one gave me that
attitude I'd tell them whre to go with their oversized iron in a hurry,
the Sprite/Midget is the littlest of LBC's  everything else is a BBC in
comparison...

Drive on and forget 'em
