My club had a event at a member's automotive shop where we viewed his classic car collection and then drove to his house on the FL/AL bay for a afternoon of food and friends. Another Spitfire owner came and I took these pictures. This is a 1975 1500 that is only on it's 2nd owner. The color is French Blue. Look for this car on this website in the future... More pictures from this event are here.[August 2006] |

1.) My wife had our 2nd child this month! We have a baby girl to add to our 3-year-old boy.
2.) I have bought this 1975 Spitfire 1500 from a guy in my club who owned it for 5 years. He bought it from the original owner who kept all repair receipts plus the original sales receipt from when the car was bought new in 1975! I bought this car for my niece but she does not get it until she graduates from high school (if her grades are above the agreed level), so I will "play" with this Spitfire until then.

This is me showing my niece how to drive a manual-shift. She had her learner's permit license, so it was legal to let her drive out on the road by my house. She did well and only stalled once. I sure stalled more than that when I was learning in 1981! [June 2007] |
| This is a new photo taken with my new digital camera at a much higher resolution than my 5-year-old digital camera could take. I have reduced the picture size for this website, but I have sent the full-size image to "Triumph Spitfire and GT6" magazine for their printed issue. When I see it published, I'll update this entry.
