That is awesome. In the Spit commercial, I'm willing to bet the voiceover is Jean Shepard....once a renowned radio personality and currently best known for his semi-autobiographical 1983 movie: "A Christmas Story"
Notice- to spin the tires...grass, probably damp, was necessary. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I think that you are right....it *does* sound like Jean Shepard. I remember seeing him do standup when I was in college. He drove a Morgan back then. Later, he wrote a column in Car & Driver magazine (way back, when it was good). One of my officemates used to talk to him on Ham radio all the time.
I love the Spitfire clip. Anything with old airplanes and Brit-cars and I'm in!
I'm pretty sure that many of you have seen the more famous (or *infamous*) Spitfire clip with Alain deCadent.
If not, here is a link below. But caution!....Alain uses some *bad* language (though understandable, considering the circumstance).

"I'm a guy who likes to work on my car. I like to take it apart and put it back together. I get to working on it and I forget where I am, what time it is, what my name is, how to stand up. Why, I even forget to breathe. I like to cough. Cough up pieces of lung. I always cough up pieces of lung when I work. They go together. Would I recommend Marlboro? I already have. What, you want to live forever?"
