For whatever reason...that's mostly all I drove for 5-8 years or so...british roadsters...from the Spitfire to a 56 Jag...with some TRs in between. Those were the good old days...freezing my *ss off...noisy rattling excuses for side windows...steering wheels that left no room for your legs....fortunately...didn't get to meet any trees though.

Ah, well, we're probably also talking about different time periods, then... i.e. different parts, different tires, different... well, everything!

I can guarantee you I wasn't using retreaded bias-ply tires that "folded over" while cornering. I wasn't using any sort of "stock" suspension equipment, only aftermarket stuff designed to fit in the stock locations.

That's me, though, to not think about things like that. Really, were we even operating the same car?
