Yep, I dare to drive my '70 Spit without o/d on the highway. In fact, with
the wider wheels and tires, I tend to drive it very fast around
corners...without slowing down. Damn it all, let me be honest....even on
the flat parts I try to go flat out...and man it is fun!!!! Are you
implying there is something I am missing?
