Rich;
Consider the source. Just because the editors of that rag can't properly
handle an automobile doesn't mean that no one else can either. I have found
the handling of the Spitfire to be superior to almost every other 'stock'
car I've driven. Of course I haven't driven every type of car ever made...
yet. :)

Subject: Spitfire gets praised and picked on!
Submitted for your consideration,
December issue of Car Craft Magazine, page 18, has a list of ten cars
rated
by Hemmings as best values in overlooked collector cars, along with Car
Craft's commentary on the cars.
Number ten on the list, 62-67 Triumph Spitfire Mark I and Mark II.
Commentary reads as follows:
"Nasty handling when they were new, they've got to be downright scary now.
Give one to the relative you want to see wrapped around a telephone pole."
Don't flame me, I'm just the messenger. They also take a shot at BMW 2002's
and Sprites!
