Hi Diane,
I'm in Roscoe, not far from Chicagoland. I'll be at the Dupage swap meet nex=
t week to pick up a bonnet and drop off some BSA motorcycle parts. I have se=
veral Spridgets, and literally just finished this minute buttoning up a race=
 motor for my vintage racer. Here's the motor as it sits. It's....very fast,=
 more than double stock horsepower, and well over 100 ft lbs of torque (tech=
nical, I know!).

Welcome!

Ron Soave

Hi Diane,

I bought this rolling wreck last August and have had to fix every single thi=
ng I've touched on the car.  Been driving it all winter when the roads are c=
lear as the winter was kinda mild here in mid-Michigan.  35 degrees F with t=
he heater on full blast and the tonneau in place is fine.  :-)

Hi Diane and welcome to the list. Mark has done an awesome job these
past 25 yrs. running the list(s) and he promised to run it for 25
more...right, Mark? Ya, I know send in my donation...it's in the mail!
;-) 

Diane you will get all sorts of opinions and learn a lot and read
a lot of banter...most of it in good humor. The best thing I can say is
this list becomes like a family. When I joined 24 1/2 years ago never
did I think I be traveling the country helping folks with their cars and
going to their races. BTW, sweet engine Ron!! Diane if you get to
Blackhawk, Road America, or Gratten you'll see Ron driving one fast
Sprite! 

If you get up to Wisconsin or need help with something give a
shout I'm just up the road. See you at the Swap Meet maybe. 

Pay it
Forward......right Frank? Miss you.
