Whay a Spit, Humm. Like most things in life it was a combination of seemingly unrelated events........culminating in ownership. I have owned British sports cars since Uhmm...'67 (58 MGA). Favorite (to date)-----'69 Sprite-in '89 (but the Spit is not done yet). Why a Spit. Well, there was an ad in the paper, and the price was right...better go look. But then there were those two girls that were gorgeous, driving one way back in '66, I couldn't catch them on tight neighborhood streets in the '64 Impala SS. I guess that was in the back of my mind. The lines are good.. Long hoodline, short rump, that has always given the impression of power and speed (the impression). The EType had similar lines. Anyway..Ramble on. I got it 'cuz I love to fiddle with LBC's and most of all I COULDN'T AFFORD A LOTUS SEVEN! But, wouldn't you know it, Those Unrelated Events strike again. Of course the Lotus Seven used Tons of Triumph parts (spindles, uprights, rack, etc,etc.) Well with two parts cars found cheap during the work on the Spit, and after the purchase last weekend of a TR7 live axle------------I got all the pieces I need to build my Lotus from scratch--Several great CAD prints of Lotus chassis and suspension arms. Well the Spit will be my fun little daily driver, and by the end of the summer I will start the Lotus. I love the Spit.. I think I will keep it from now on why sell it?...Why did I get it, I needed a car, my daughter took the Miata. Joe Garrison Edmond, OK
