As it was me who was the "fellow Spit Lister" referred to I have to come out
of my lurking state and offer commiserations to James and his Spit. James
has recently been working close to my place for a few weeks and offered me a
blast in the Spit as my own one has been on axle stands for longer than I
would like to admit. It wasn't ideal weather last Friday but I really
enjoyed it - the noise of the twin sports exhaust, the smell of the interior
(oil, fumes and damp carpet!) brought back many happy memories for me.
James, the ride gave me a little bit more incentive to step up the pace on
my car - you'll be the first passenger when it is done.

(and Crowley the Flamenco 1500, now back on his own 4 wheels with a shiney
red chassis, new suspension and rebuilt engine (2-litre) awaiting some
serious TLC to the bodywork)
