Ok, now I understand my Spitfire has 57 HP. When I bought it I was
happy to see it had a Webber downdraft carb so that I suppose may help a
little. Oddly the first mechanic I took it to (u joints) advised me to
go back to the stock carb. Something about too much gas going into the
cylinders. Yer gonna burn it up???
I've always noticed that no matter what I drive people just pull out in
front of me. Beetle, Spitfire, Caravan it don't matter cause they are
trying to kill you. My dad drove a Greyhound bus for 35 years and some
of the best advice he ever gave me was drive like everyone else on the
road is trying to kill you. Second best: always be looking for a place
to drive to avoid someone when they are trying to kill you (pick the
softest spot in the ditch I guess).
Pick up trucks, SUVs ALWAYS drive 60 - 65 in 45MPH zones in
Jacksonville, I don't have the gall (or balls)to try to keep up. It's a
macho thing I guess; dog, ladder,PVC pipe & empty beer cans in the bed
and away they go!!!!! Everybody's got to be somewhere!!
