Well, mine used to be REALLY, REALLY fast with its "blue printed" engine,
hardened crank and cam shaft, tuned headers, Webers, plus a lot more "secret
stuff".  But now, in its old age, I am in the process of taming it down
considerably (clipping its wings), so that it can pass Oregon's emissions
testing, and maybe live longer.

I keep referring to my Spitfire as "it", because in 20 years I have never
named it.

Reid
'79 Spitfire (still looking for a HOT, SEXY, female name of British origin
for "it")

Ha ha ha  Reid.

Why is it so hard for you men to believe that I, a female, would/could have
a car faster than yours, a male? <G>
