- Triumph Spitfire MK4 1500 A Drive Out With Mike Welcome to my channel, I hope you enjoy watching all the kayak fishing around the UK, mostly in the North Sea - in the sea and river, fishing for cod, bass, tope, dogfish, smoothound, thornback ray, whiting, wrasse and anything else I can target. Maybe you like my hornby model railway trainset layout? or my cooking fish or general cooking with my ninja foodi maz health grill and air fryer? There's scuba diving off the North Norfolk Coast and Suffolk, wreck diving, reef diving, river diving, even Cenote Diving, in the Red Sea off Egypt, the Mediterranean off Malta and Gozo and in Mexico, Brazil, Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Pembrokeshire in Wales, Swanage and Plymouth and of course the diving with sharks in South Africa. There's kayaking too, including surfing sailing and touring in the UK and abroad and a bit of snorkelling, Plenty of videos too of me fiddling with and driving my classic car, a 1973 Triumph Spitfire and other cars get a look in too. There's cooking, eating, travelling around various cities in Europe - Berlin in Germany, Naples and Rome in Italy, plus the Vatican; Sofia, Varna, Plovdiv and elsewhere in Bulgaria; Lefkosia / Nicosia and much of Cyprus, Krakow in Poland, there's Malta too. Istanbul in Turkey just outside Europe too, and Egypt around Hurghada. Further afield there's a bit of South Africa and Latin America with the Mayan Riviera of Mexico and Rio de Janeiro, Paraty and Isla Grande in Brazil. There's even a bit of Northern Ireland and parts of England mixed in with the nonsense of East Anglia in a camper van with my daughters! If you enjoy one video please watch another and consider subscribing so you don't miss future uploads however crap they might be! Thanks and regards, Mark
You've got the original radio! Reminds me of my Mk III. Great driving car. Always niggley little things to sort out. Did clutch, overdrive, routine maintenance on mine easy to work on.Found drum brakes a bit fiddly and handbrake a problem. But really fun car on corners.
Radio isn't original? But yeah, what fantastic fun cars they are to drive! But always some fettling to be done
Hi I see Mike enjoyed the Spitfire.
I bought a mk3 spitfire Jasmine very pale yellow. I still have mine have owned it 23 years now. Keep enjoying yours and don't do what most people do is to sell it and regret it. I can see the passion you have for yours every time you start that engine and drive it.
Kev🇬🇧👍
He did, so much so he's going to get his running again. I can't see me parting with mine either, you are right about the passion!
I’m thinking of buying a spit, really really tempted - hence I’m on UA-cam at midnight looking at them 😂
Ha! Enjoy. Mine are made from the viewpoint of the fun I have with it. I'm no mechanic or car enthusiast. My mum had one when I was a kid and I always wanted my own. Four years on and I don't regret a mile that wasn't attached to a tow rope 😁
Lovely car
Oh it so is, such fun to drive with the roof down!
sounds great!
Oh she does! Proper lovely rumble. So much better in real life especially when you stick your foot down!
@@Codbotherer what engine is in it?
@@marcelsmodels 1500. I blew the 1300 up 😂
@@Codbotherer oh wow, that must’ve been an experience, anyway a chance for more power
I had a Triumph Spitfire I’m pretty sure it was a mark 4 though it certainly didn’t have a wood effect dash. On reflection I reckon it should have a roll bar for safety reasons
Some MKIV's had black vinyl dashes - my mum's did. Roll bars will break your neck in an impact on these (apparently)
@@Codbotherer Food for thought I guess
@@joebloggs4807 or for the crows!
Is the speedo not working. Exhaust looks a bit rich but sounds good.
No, it's dead. I just can't get things leaner but it does sound great doesn't it 😁
I was unfortunate to own one of these for a couple of years, they are without doubt the biggest Peices of crap ever to be put on a British road, it was another death trap off the road the day it was crushed
You've clearly not seen some of the other crap we've made 🤣
Just try an allegro before you say that
Too much wind noise to hear any conversation.
Yeah. That's the beauty of them.
