...I just wonder why, if Spitfires are 'effeminate', so many 6 foot plus,
250 pound guys are driving them??...
I agree - just reporting what the presenter said. Although, I would have to
agree with the presenter that in a direct comparison between Spitfire and
TR6, the Spit looks delicate to the TR6's brute. But then a Jag E-type (XKE
to Americans) has more of a Spitfires delicacy than a TR6's brutishness, and
that's the most beautiful car ever (according to Enzo Ferrari, amongst
others).
Maybe the Spitfire's effeminacy is OK, because the 6', 250lb guys driving
them can think of them as their mistress - lithe, shapely and curvy.
Effeminacy is not the same thing as girliness, which has to be defined by
the Ford StreetKa.
