[TR] (Fwd) Re: Intro & conversation starter

[Joe Curry]

Mark,
I find it hard to believe with the TR4 also introduced in 62, that any
attention was ever given to Spitfire's introduction at a national event.
Which of course gives credence to the "Best way to be ignored is to arrive
in a Spitfire" theory.

The Savannah VTR convention back in '92, if memory serves me
right, was celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Spitfire.  That
one is somewhat foggy in my memory - I seem to only recall being
slowly roasted on black asphalt after getting marianated in brake fluid.

I do, however, remember going to the show and seeing nothing but
empty space in the area reserved for Mark 1 and 2 Spitfires.  Some
celebration.
