Spitfire Prep

Responsive image

I finally made it over to the storage facility to start the process of getting the Spitfires ready for the season. We're down a battery (Jake's died), so I used mine to start each car. Both started up just fine and ran well. We should be able to start spring maintenance next weekend. Can't wait to get them on the road.

I love everything about this car. You can see the top of Jake's 1970 Spitfire in the background.

The interior looked good, too. This is the first year we kept the cars in a storage unit, so I was a little worried about mice chewing on the seats…or wires! Luckily I didn't see any evidence of that.
