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 John --- Michael Hargreave Mawson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In article <005601c1db73$ef97a7a0$1900a2c6@anne>, Anne Garren > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes > >Me too :)) Can't wait to see what comes up... > > > >Anne > > > > > >>OK, I've just done the same test.
