My favorite of my Midget is this one. This is at a turn off during a drive in the San Gabriel Mountains.

Here's my favorite, so far, of my Midget. Taken on a cloudy Sunday evening in southeastern Minnesota.

I love this one because it shows the sheer raw power of my 76 Midget.

Well maybe not my favorite favorite but it's pretty cool anyway. My friend from Norway was visiting and he just HAD to rent the Vette in yellow.

I like that. "My first thought was who tied the midget to a boat."

My baby girl got tired of helping Daddy work on the race car. She's graduating high school now.

Great picture, Mike. I like what's sitting in the passenger seat. Hopefully she's featured with the car at all times as well.

All great pictures. I love em all!

Wayne, the boat pic would be more believable if you the rear was down slightly and the trailer jack was up. Good picture tho.

Andrew, do you have any details relating to Sprite 9253 WD being hounded by the Galaxie; where and when, etc?

Attached photo of the car as it survives today.

Cheers, Jonathan

Jonathan,

sorry, I don't have the details on the shot. It was actually posted here on MGE some time back, and I loved it so much I clipped and saved it.
I grew up in England and spent my early teenage years keenly following the BTCC at various circuits, primarily in the south. Although originally from Merseyside, I never attended Aintree, and I think this picture was shot there, probably in 1963 or 1964.
Jack Sears, Gwainne Baillie, Jack Brabham amongst others campaigned Galaxies at various times back then. Though clearly not a Championship race, this could be one of those drivers. The thing that bothers me most tho', is that those guys raced XL500 Fastback's, the car in this picture is not a fastback, but a sedan.
It WAS the golden age of motorsport in my opinion. Amazing competition and sportsmanship, huge grids, and a wide variety of cars.

I love that the Sprite has survived, I assume from your avatar you have more than a passing interest in it, and other cars of the period.
It would be fantastic to see 9253WD restored to its former glory.

Andy
