HOLD ON THERE EVERYBODY! Before we all get out bowels in an uproar, let
me say that in as much as the Spitfire cars derived their name from the
planes of WWII, and Triumph actively used the link in their advertising,
I feel that if we are tasteful and don't get carried away, we can keep
that traditional link and celebrate both for what they are.
People who don't like the planes can enjoy the Spitfire cars even though
they are a member of a club that recognises the connection.
So, I propose that we think along the lines of not severing that
connection but rather just be selective in how we use it!
Regards,
Joe
