In keeping with the discussion of the "high costs" to fix Spridgets, Peter
Egan's editorial in the current issue of Road & Track touches on the
subject. He tells of the days when he was a mechanic. He spent a week
working on a mustard-yellow MG Midget only to have the college boy owner
jump in and drive off without paying - never to be found again. As always a
good read. Which one of you guys has that Midget now? Look around the
engine bay for a little Egan DNA (skinned knuckle pieces) to claim
ownership to a "special" car.
Well, they didn't find Jimmy Hoffa (I was a Teamster when in high school.
Pay went from $1.50 to $3.50 (union scale) when I reluctantly joined), but
that's another story. While you're checking for Egan DNA, check for Jimmy's
too - just in case!
