Heh, I find myself playing "spot the car" in the US, having grown up on
the other side of the Pond. Saw my first X1/9 on US soil last year, one
"proper" Mini so far (not the crappy modern BMW version), a 2CV a couple
of months ago... quite a few VW bugs, of course. A few MG Midgets (but
with the ****ty rubber bumpers that they were forced to have in the US)

Not at all like my one Toyota


I've had a major hankering after a first-generation Celica for a few
months... I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing!

I really want a Jensen FF, but that's waiting until I win the lottery

cheers
