I wish someone would revive the old Triumph Spitfire.

Amen!
I guess this makes us really "old school" and/or "progressive retro" dudes!

Machine lust note: I saw a beautifully-restored Austin-Healy (3000?) a few
days ago!

Seriously. The Japanese make some fine automobiles and motorcycles, but nobody could make you fall in love with a vehicle like the old American and British designers. It made me sick to see GM doing those spirit of Harley Earl commercials, especially standing in front of some of the ugliest vehicles known to man. GM must be run by a bunch of ex-KMart executives now. Harley Earl was a dreamer.

Now THAT guy could dream! BTW, click on the photo to go to his web site. It opens in a new window, so you won't leave FR.
