I brought home a midget

[eldubb440]

I rebuilt this car 35 years ago....

it's been off the road 20 years, I pulled it out of a garage today.......... looks pretty good! an easy clean up

You fit in a Midget, Mark? If I got in 20 years ago, I would still be stuck in there when you pulled it out of storage.

I did drive it a few times back in the 90s

My nephew owns a right hand drive Mini pickup truck. I borrowed it one day for a fundraising event. I got in OK , but when I drove it I kept turning on the turn signal every time I shifted gears and let out the clutch.

I had a friend that was scared to death of midgets
He would run the other way if he saw one.
It was funny

@Kern Dog has a thing for midgets

I suppose we were overdue for a good midget thread

I built a Midget 15 years ago with a Mazda 13B engine, and Tilton pedals. Enkei RPF1 rims in 16" x 8" with Michelin Pilot Sports.

Loved the car, but I didn't fit in it, as I am too tall. Sold it to a friend that's only 5'4" and he fits in it fine.

I suppose a hemi might be a tight fit

There's a bugeye sprite running around socal with a 426 hemi in it. I saw it at one of the spring/fall flings. Been in a bunch of magazines too.
I tried to buy a Hillman Minx pickup once, with a small block chevy in it. It had a stick in it, and I simply didn't fit. I'm 6'3".
My Opel has the seats as far back as they can go, and mounted directly to the floor, and it's still a tight fit. I bought a flat bottomed steering wheel for it.

There was a scene in a Doris Day/Rock Hudson movie (I don't remember the title) where they got in some tiny English sportscar, and he couldn't get out.
