How strange, I got an identical description to Mike, although my car
recomendations were a little different:
1. Dodge Colt Vista - just had a look at one of these on the net - quite
possibly one of the ugliest cars I have ever set eyes on, not over my
dead body!
2. Peugeot 505 - ok, but largely dull, my aunt owns one, 'nuff said
3. BMW 2002 - I could see myself in one of these, although you can't take
the roof off :-(
4. AMC Jeep - These look fun!
5. Volvo 244 - it's a box on wheels, safe, reliable and with styling
borrowed from a lada. Certainly not fun like my Spitfire!
After careful consideration I think I'll stick with the Spitfire!
cheers
