Spitfire II (III), Road Ready

We worked on my Spitfire today (our second, which is a Mark III), and she was quickly road-ready

Weekend mornings are nice for so many reasons. Time to make an actual breakfast, for example.

Jake and I went to the storage unit and started both Spitfires. After putting some air in the tires and a few test laps around the lanes between buildings, I drove mine over to Denny’s for a pre-season tune-up. We cleaned the battery terminals and cables, checked the plugs, and Denny adjusted the carbs a bit. She’s running really nicely.

I took it for a spin afterwards, and Denny came along for the ride. He didn’t hesitate when I asked if he wanted to go, unworried about getting in and out of the car. He had a blast, as did I.
