That's too bad the Ro-Spit had it's soul removed.
I've never owned a Japanese car and there aren't any I
really crave (maybe a 510). Reliable, technological
wonders, they have soft controls and a bland, generic
character I've never liked (I haven't driven a Miata
yet).
Gimme an English go-kart anyday.

I didn't drive it, I rode in it at Carslisle a year
and a half ago.
<snipped>
I expected to find myself having wet dreams for weeks
after that ride,
but I came away from it more appreciative of my own
rat of a Spitfire
instead. The roto-Spit is an expensive, refined,
japanese car hybrid.
The quirky british nature, the thing that makes us own
and drive
Spitfires, is gone. The roto-Spit has lost its
british sports car
soul.
