As soon as you get your Spit on the road - you will be able to blast away any *idget!
I just don't get them - theyre so square and ugly - and they have all the performance and handling of something which doesnt perform or handle all that well (brain has disengaged tonight)

If it's the 1500 midget he's got.... just politely let him know...
"hmm, that's the one with the Spitfire engine in it - isn't it!"
If not, just suck through your teef' and go on about a six port head, blah, blah, blah!

I reckon you could tell a rubber bumpered Midget driver that spits have a 12 port head and they'd be none the wiser.-

Well thats true of both the MG owners I know.
In fact both do virtually no work on their cars themselves.

Ha.... good point Graham.
Come to think of it, last time my Midget driving pal had a problem I fixed it......
These MG drivers aren't as daft as they look after all.-

I'm afraid not John, that's all I know of anyway!
I seem to remember seeing one involving lots of leather and a policeman... but maybe that wasn't for a Triumph...

He's out in the damn thing now...I hate him! We were best mates until yesterday, I even took him an ice cold beer when he was mowing his lawn. No more! Wots even worse Nig is that he told me the Spit 1500 had got a Midget engine in it...splutter cough... He hasn't got an overdrive tho'...and it's got rubber bumpers...and its blue...an' got nasty cheap Rostyle wheels...B*****D, I hate him! Grrrr

Phil Phil!
Relax!
He's totally wrong! 1500 engine is from a Spitfire! And he knows it!
Rubber bumpers! Please - if there's anything worse than an *idget - it's an *idget with rubber bumpers - they're just sooooo ugly!
The perfect payback will be when he sees that Italian styled beauty on your driveway!
The day of reckoning will come soon!

A mate of mine has a Midget 1500 in Inca Yellow just like my Spit. There is nothing about the Midget which I prefer and the Spit is way faster, sounds like a proper sports car (especially with the dual pipes). In comparison the Midget sounds like a lawnmower.-

Thanks guys, I knew I could rely on you. I'm starting to get my appetite back now. I'm gonna train my cat to pee up his wheels first thing after tea.

I don't know about you - but I hate it when people work on my car...
At this very moment ProTyre of Enfield are doing my alignment - which is totally off - I hate leaving it with garages... I guess I could have stayed and watched... damn...

I like to think that no one would be as conciensious as me when working on my car. Its old, awkward, simple and so last century. We are well matched. I like to think I can do any job needed however wheel geometry is best left to magic (except when the spotty 17 year old fitter asks what spacer shims are). Sometimes you have to trust technology and those who use it!!
It will be ok James, no visible scars etc.

Well it turns out the hot sweat of waiting was nothing compared to the double-vision inducing heart stopping signing of the switch receipt!
Never just think "well it needs doing - so it'll cost as much as it costs"... a lesson learnt for today...

I would'nt Ally, you never know what you might find in there. Better not to know...there are some blokey things you girls just might not understand. Anyway, why do girls always go to the loo together?
