Those are nice. I can`t think of much else in that class, except for

maybe an Audi Cabriolet (older, but that doesn`t seem to be an issue).

Ugh, just... no. They`re horrid to drive, a waste of a good engine.

*yawn even more*

Reliant Robin?

No... I mean. Argh, such a wide remit. How about a nice Triumph Stag?

Early 80s Mercedes SL?

Is it broken?

Just don`t get seen driving it.

Well, it will have a sense of occasion about it: Occasionally it will

work enough to make a return journey without incident, and occasionally

it will break down so catastrophically that you won`t want it back.

Yeah, but no.

Thought I’d try something a little different for this series of creative images.

I went out to Old Town here in Kissimmee, Florida one night for their Saturday Night Vintage Car Show. Hopefully I’ll get to go back soon — I decided to head out there pretty late, so most of the cars had driven off due to the storms we had roll through earlier that evening. But it was still nice to roam around for an hour or two and get to see what was out there. I hadn’t been in years, so the place has really grown up!

Last Saturday, Sean and I took a day trip to Gatorland. We’ve been wanting to head out there for a while, but they’re currently running a Florida Residents special for $10. Can’t beat that!! So I’ve included those pictures as well. We had such a great time, even though it is STILL a bit too hot here in Florida to not want to curse the sun and heat. Hopefully in the next month or so we’ll get even cooler — then we’ll head out to Disney World!! Woohoo!!
