Default Re: sports cars

My wife has a 1978 Austin Healy Sprite that she has owned since 1970. The Sprite was originally British Racing Green but is now white, with a black interior and has 77,000 original miles on it. Because we are still in Maine (not moving to our house in the Villages until Oct of 2009, 677 days 16 hours and 8 minutes but who is counting) it is only taken out in the summer. When we take it out on the highway you really can feel how small it is when the tractor trailer trucks go by and you can look up at the bottom of the rig. ;D It has a huge 1275cc engine so burning rubber is really a piece of cake (riiiiiiight). The most fun we have with it is driving on the twisting back roads of Maine.
