When driving the Spit, I'm always highly aware that people may not see me or notice my signals. The Spit seems to be an insicnificant speck on the roads and highways. Driving mostly top down, I have resolved to using hand signals. I'm always waving my hands, signaling my intentions, trying to alert other drivers. I'm also driving much more cautiously, watching the traffic around me like a hawk. I've had a few close calls where the heart stops beating for a few seconds, but this will not stop me from driving and enjoying the car at every opportunity given. Summertime is too precious to waste up here in the north and after all, 'she' is just a car????? Best time driving must be our club drives, with 10 or more Triumphs in a convoy. No problems getting attention in this case. Triumphs RULE...!!!!!!!!! Liv hmmmm.......... got to go for another test drive .................
