That, along with the Sky is the only other car I considered prior to picking up my roadster!

However, I really wanted a convertible and the allure of the MINI to me is the hardt top. The British Racing Green is by far my favorite, but I would have to go with the blue or red as I would want to get the British flag on the top and the side mirrors. That is the most attractive thing to me on those cars! I drove my friend's S model (I believe that is what it is?), and it had some nice torque! <fast car icon here>

I really want an El Camino.

I know it's not a convertible, but it's the only car I ever say,

Oh boy, I'd like that car in blue.

I mean, I occasionally dream about a Jaguar, and

I'd love an old mint condition Volvo station wagon, but

I feel I would rock a classic El Camino.

The only car I ever bought myself i.e not a company car or given to me by my dad was an MG softtop. It was midnight blue outside and had cream leather seats inside. I'm not a car person but I liked that car. I had to sell it when I had a baby because it only had 2 seats. You could feel every bump on the road so it was like rattling along on a really fast fairground ride. Loved it.

I recently bought a VW Golf soft top because it has the most room to seat children in the back and is safe and solid with a roll bar. It drinks petrol and is just too masculine, not like my dinky MG - so I'm selling it.

Errm treatment, hand wash what's that? lol. I run it through the car wash now and again and we get plenty of rain in the UK anyway :-)

I will always buy convertibles. Don't ask me why cos they're not very practical. I like the fresh air and the open sky when I'm driving, even if it's only once in a blue moon that the weather is warm enough here.

I noticed that bikers nod at me in my soft top as they ride past. I wonder if that is an international thing.

LOL, your picture brought back memories of High school days and speed shifting my mom's husbands Mustang, racing a friend...
I left parts of the transmission for miles.
Grounded for life...I'm still in my room

yes you would be if you were mine!

It was SO fine. *Cruise o matic* automatic transmission.

My favorite part was the seat adjuster. To move the back part of the seat forward or back you bent it forward and unscrewed or screwed the screw in at the bottom for comfort.

OH and the AM radio. Ahhhhh
