I got asked if my 289 FIA was a "Triumph Spitfire".

I prefer something like that instead of "kit", uhh, as long as they don't think it's a Buick...

I rolled into the local Starbucks and a crowd across the way stopped to look at my Cobra from afar. My older brother rides up on a bicycle and purposely asks loudly, "Is that an MG?'

"Yeah, it is, but it's got a Honda engine in it. I cut off the exhaust with a hacksaw. That's why it's so loud."

The crowd didn't seem to get it.

We went to get our coffee.
