>Nice looking Spitfire, yours?
Yep. Fun little car, ALWAYS the only one in the parking lot (except at British car shows). Very slow though. I think the 1,500cc engine (which is the "big" engine in Spitfires) puts out 50hp on a good day. Of course the car only weighs... um, let's see... is rust lighter than metal?

No seriously it's a lot of fun and handles like a go-cart. Lack of speed just means I row through all 4 gears like a race car driver, even though I'm in 4th by 45MPH and the UPS truck in the next lane totally smoked me.

Oh and I tend to avoid the expressway since I don't like seeing the center hubcap of an 18-wheeler actually HIGHER than my head when it passes me! Yes it's only marginally safer than a motorcycle, just because it's big (compared to a bike) and yellow.
Eric.
