Ah, but do you normally get a wave in your Fiat from Triumph Spitfires?
Or only from those drivers who think that you're in a 7? <g>
Many years ago, when you could still buy these Fiats new, a friend of
mine had one that was only a few years old. He was boasting about the
fabulous performance of his new car. I didn't even bother to offer to
race him, simply showed him the tech. specs for my rusty old Hillman-
Imp-lookalike, and I've never seen anyone look so crestfallen. Sunbeam
Stilettos - even old ones - were a lot faster off the blocks...
