I like that Hunter Green. Needs a tan leather interior, with plaid inserts, to be truly Faux Breetish, though.

First sportscar I ever saw and fell in love with was a Triumph Spitfire in that color scheme.

I think I was about 11, and I can still see that car in my mind's eye.

my friend had a bugeye sprite and in a straight line it was slow, but its so small and light, that if you throw a curve in that slow car is seriously fast!

we needed 300hp hp FD with viper sized tires to keep up....

double the power (and probably drop a couple pounds, stock its 50hp/1300lbs, a 12A is 120hp/1250lbs?) and you've built something serious!
