I guess I'm a semi-lurker, having put in my 2 cents once in a while.  
But I depend on the talk since spridgets seem to be pretty rare 
around mid-Michigan.  I bought a 74 burgundy Midget (orig. orange) 
last May in quite good condition for $2400 and immediately put in 
about a grand for a new front end and brakes.  Beyond that haven't 
had much trouble or opportunity for tinkering.  I figure being able 
to drive all summer was worth the money.  Needs a new soft top (I 
never know whether to call it a bonnet or hood) and maybe new 
carpeting, though it's not too rough.  Also have a wish list of 
various parts, such as a right-hand mirror, lighter, gas float, etc.  
My wife has come to love it--and actually drove it once, as I 
silently cringed.

I put off storing it for the winter a bit too long, I'm afraid, and 
the Li'l Guy is under a foot of snow in the driveway.  As soon as the 
weather breaks a bit, into the garage a few blocks away.  I hope he 
forgives me.  At least he's not plowing through salt and such.

Thanks to all of you for the good advice and sense of community.

Happy Spridget New Year!
