Listers,

There are a couple guys on the MG Experience forum planning to drive the ent=
ire length of Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica in a Midget starting on O=
ctober 2nd.  One of the guys is flying over from England to do the drive.  T=
hey are asking all Spridget owners to join them and go along for some or all=
 of the trip or at least meet up along the way.  They plan to take three wee=
ks to do the drive and visit all of the Route 66 interest points on the road=
.

4537548/

https://www.mgexp.com/forum/mg-midget-forum.3/route-66-spridget-relay-rally-=
spring-or.3845157/

Unfortunately, I don't have a driveable street Spridget at the moment and li=
ve 350 miles in the wrong direction from the trip starting point.  Buy I was=
 in California a couple of weeks ago and did a mini pre-run on parts of the m=
other road.  This photo is going over the Cajon pass.  :-)
