I'm with Robert on this one. If the Sprite stuff was meant to be a serious
part of this web site and not some after thought, why wasn't it included in
the model overview? even as a pending link ?
This may come as a shock to the Big Heals but I didn't buy my sprite
because I really wanted a "Real Healey" but couldn't afford it. I bought it
on love at first sight. I won't trade it for some of the big cars out there.
We are not some redheaded bastard step children (most of us at least).
But other then that. it's a nice site.

Robert,
As Reid wrote in response to a similar criticism, the Sprite
information was in prep this weekend. Having produced other
enthusiast websites on a volunteer basis, I know that it's easy to
get excited when large chunks get finished and you want to let the
world know. Sometimes people associated with the unfinished pages
feel left out. I guess the AHUSA should've added a "Coming Soon" bit
for the Sprites. The Sprite info is still not up, but I would be
surprised if it wasn't added soon as many AHUSA members are Sprite
owners - including Reid. In any event, I'd be more upset if I owned a
100-6; the comments there seem a bit condescending, especially since
the power problems were addressed and many if not most cars have been
retrofitted with better ported heads, etc at this point.
In any event, it's a beautiful site with good navigation.
Jeff
