Answer 1

I do, it was battered up dark blue 1962 mini. It was a great little car but it has me puzzled at first. I was used to driving a car where you turn the key and then turn further for ignition. Nope not on this baby. You turned the key and then pressed a button on the floor to start the engie. It worked every single time, whatever the weather and never once let me down.

Big old mercedes 200 - a taxi rank one from Europe. It had LPG installed, illegally, I discovered later. I painted it black, with white doors and a white roof. Dressed in black, with a peroxide flat-top (yes. I know!). Got stopped by the Carabinieri every day (this was in Italy in the Eighties). Loved that car - drove it at 180 kms/hr through the tunnels on the Genova motorway. Slid it sideways across a busy dual carriage-way by mistake - and got away with it! - I still remember the frozen faces of the other drivers as we slid past them all, never QUITE connecting with any of the other cars....
