Although it was a short article, it was interesting to read about his restoration, driving, and overall experience of owning a Triumph Spitfire. One good part the author notes, "The Triumph is a perfect car for me because it gets great gas mileage - over 41 miles a gallon - and is easy to park because it is so tiny and has a very sharp turning radius." He also notes a downside, "... the Triumph is so small that it could be squashed like a fly, so it really takes a motorcycle mentality to drive it." But the line that struck me the most, "My friend tried to take his car apart and it never quite went back together the right way." I am close to having taken the car apart completely, so really there is no turning back anyway. Hopefully, I fair better than his friend in restoring the Triumph.
