Interesting you mention this. At our club meeting, one of the
standing agenda items is to have each person introduce themselves and
say what British car(s) they own. At our most recent meeting, we did
something a little different. Instead of saying what they own, each
person said what they would own if they could have any car, regardless
of price. Quite a wide variety of cars were mentioned. Our prez
picked Aston-Martin DB5. Several people picked Lotus Super Seven.
One Rolls-Royce Corniche and many Jag E-type roadsters were wished
for. One guy, who has a Westfield 11, picked a "real Lotus Eleven."
Another person picked a Bugeye Sprite. A couple of people wished only
that the cars they have now were in good running condition. Yours
truly wishes for one of those brand-new Jensen Interceptor
convertibles. In any case, this was one of the most interesting and
fun things we have done at a club meeting in a long time.
