Just curious, people with Spitfires without overdrive: do you drive your Spit on the highway? Or do you limit yourself to certain speeds? I don't have OD, and I am VERY hesitatant about taking the c

You bet I do! I love the highway, down here in Texas it's the only direct way to get anywhere..... I have never had a problem of any sort driving on the highway, the Spit seems to prefer the wide op

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 hones

I try to limit my highway driving to trips under 100 miles. It makes me cringe to watch the tach sit on 4500 rpm for long periods of time. But as soon as I get my newly acquired Overdrive tranny ins
