Oh, Joe!
How could you do this to me????
I've always been captivated by the Stag ever since I have seen a photo
of one. I fell in love with them when I saw one for the first time
three years ago (at ATDI in Abbotsford). This summer, I've been telling
everyone that I would gladly give up all my Triumph stuff (Katie,
another tub, two frames, two blocks, etc) for a good Stag.
And now this. A Stag-powered Spitfire --- an Eight-fire. I've seen the
TR8 block stuffed into a Spitfire, but it looked too, too, uh, not
Triumph. But, the Stag V8 in a Spitfire ...
Now, where to find a driveline

P.S. Thanks for the idea, Joe. I'm sure Fiona will thank you too. ;)
