Big, heavy, wafty and rusty.

I`ve nearly bought one. It`s not something I`d want.

An SEC, however...

V8 burble, comedy handling

Far to conservative to be interesting

Need 3 seats as a minimum.

We have the Seat and the Audi for completely sensible motoring and the Sylva

for complete stupidity.

The Golf is currently getting the vote because it would take all 3 of us and

I`m sure the 4 year old would love it. I don`t think depreciation would be

a killer either.

We shall see.

And about as well made, too.

*nods* Of the suggestions, I`d have the Golf. I reckon looking for an

Audi would be worthwhile in some regards; fully wind-down rear windows,

no roll bar, substantial boot, classy even when getting on...

And the intermediate shaft drowning out the V8 burble, and the sound of

rust-worms eating the sills drowning that out...

Not even a six-cylinder engine.

Nah, keep it three years and it`ll still be worth £3K or so, and that`s

a conservative estimate really - `91 Clippers are up to £2K in summer

for good ones.

Since you already have an Audi, the Audi Cabriolet would probably feel

boring. Can you find a Mercedes W124 E-class Cabriolet for around the

£6K mark?

Or you could get a Maserati Biturbo.

Title: Fearlessly. Fun. Creative.

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!!
