what I'm talking about and who the manufacturer is? The first site found by Google (http://www.gbt.nl/Pag3.htm) is indeed Dutch. It's advertising a roofrack with suction cups. It says it's made in th

But it's got a fixed roof. :-( Alright, I want one, too. But only so I can trade it in for the Bugatti Type 51 that features on the same page. And I think I'd have some change left after that... Chee

Changing pads is about the easiest thing you can do on any car, I think. A complete rebuild - in my book, at least - involves removing front calipers, taking out the pistons, cleaning them thoroughly

The Spitfire definitely has the smallest turning circle of any four-wheeled production vehicle. That includes London Taxis, which are often mentioned for their small turning circles. Cheers, -- Eric

Nope, can't touch the Spit. :-) Surprising though, as it is RWD and has a much shorter wheel base than a Spitfire. Cheers, -- Eric Kieboom - The Netherlands 1976 Spit 1500 - Original Java Green http:

Still, it is. I think it's due to the Spitfire's shorter wheelbase. Cheers, -- Eric Kieboom - The Netherlands 1976 Spit 1500 - Original Java Green http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekieboom/spit/spit.html

Definitely. The Mini is FWD (with universal joints even, I believe), which severely limits the swivelling angle of the front wheels. Cheers, -- Eric Kieboom - The Netherlands 1976 Spit 1500 - Origina
