I agree with Kin, I am old enough to remember many of my friends putting Midgets and Spitfires (Dribble-smoulders) in ditches due to the inherently terrible handling. I was in a late VW Beetle 1303S and they had trouble keeping up with me often - I am no god of driving thats for certain.
How they had the balls to name the Triumph after the aircraft and get away with it is almost offensive.
