from the first time i learned about this british beauty i've loved it. i love the looks, the simplicity, and the heritage(there're auxiliary loves besides the primary ones, like the looks people throw at it and how cool its very name sounds). i've always laughed at my mom's reason for buying the pug; she liked how the front grille looks like a big smiley. but i'm no better because those grilles distinguish it from all the other roadsters of its time and i'm in love with them.
it's called a triumph spitfire(ain't it cool?!!). there were five variants produced but i only like the first two. because only they have the grilles and the semi-boat-tail taillights. i don't even mind the lower power because let's face it, none of them is going to beat any speed records. so what's one or two mph less?
so when i saw one for sale i teleported straight to the dealer. everything i saw there reinforced just how much i like this babe.

it's exquisite. it's the british racing green i envisioned, with black(what else?) interior, a wooden dash, and they're throwing in the targa roof on top of the canvas one. and the best thing is it's on a normal number plate instead of those stupid useless classic plates. i nearly went fucking apeshit. but before that i checked underneath the chassis for rust, wear and tear, which were nonexistent. and then i went fucking apeshit.
and then a thought flittered through my mind: could it have been this if not for the morris? what have i given up?
i can contemplate giving up the silvia for a spitfire, albeit a little reluctantly. having said that, my hatred for this shithole far outweighs my fondness for this thing. so i'll get it in the other land. and if it's more rare than a chimera even there, well then. i can always make do with a silvia. heh. or a couple of Ducatis. woot!
