<< 1.  Wash and wax a Sprite (if you do mine I will supply the wax).
 
 2.  Visit some breakers yards to buy:  Metro large diameter water pump 
 pullies (I have them all from my local yard), MG Metro HIF44 carb manifolds, 
 old SUs from various cars, anything else that takes your fancy.
 
 3.  Visit the Coventry Motor Museum - its free to get in, a nice museum and 
 Coventry is an interesting City.
 
 4.   Visit the Heritage Museum at Gaydon (its not free to get in) a great 
 museum - and a twisty road to get there (at least from where I live) with 
 100mph straights between 70mph 4th gear corners!
 
 5.   Buy some Doc Marten's shoes - all the best Spridgeteers wear them (at 
 least I do).
 
 6.   Go to Brooklands (I've never been).
 
 7.   Go to Beaulieu (I've never been)
 
 8.   See some Spridgets racing at the race track or sprint/hill climb.
 
 9.   Jack up my Sprite and grease all the suspension points (I will supply 
 the jack and grease gun).
 
 10  Change the gearbox oil in my Sprite (I will supply the oil).

Hmmm--Daniel--While we are recreating upon Numbers 1, 9, and 10, do you 
supply the bottomless Guiness glass?  8^)
