I do... I do!
A '62 MKII w/ a Toyota 18RC 2 liter that's very tired but soon to be swapped
for a 120 HP 18RG DOHC & duel side drafts.
Which reminds me... Sometime last Summer or Fall, someone on the list and on
the East coast, asked me if I were interested in a set of Delorto 44mm carbs
off an Alfa.... Can you get back in touch with me. I'm looking to replace
the Mikuni side drafts I currently have. If anyone has a pair of 40-45mm
Webers that they'd like to sell please reply too.
Thanks,

Andrew Griffith

        Okay, my 2 cents worth.  Let's not forget the Spritota.  A Sprite
with a 
        Toyota engine.  Anybody have one?

        Actually, the term Spridgets originated in England.

         a cross between Spitfire and Midget.  "Spitfidget" so named because
of
         the use of a Triumph Spitfire engine in the 1975 and later Midgets.
         
         "Purists" don't like them, but I consider mine to be the healthy
result
         of genetic diversity...
