Actually it seems to work only in one direction ... girls can look cool in virtually all iconic cars.<br /><br />For example l never felt right when borrowing some of my wife's cars. These would be the Triumph Spitire (which l never wanted but she did), the Lotus Elan S3 (l'm never gonna be Emma Peel out of The Avengers) and even though many men did drive them .. the Triumph Stag (a bloody nightmare if you didn't take extreme care of regular and preventative servicing of said engine). Strangley to some, l felt he same about driving her Merc 350SL.<br /><br />Yet she looked and felt great driving the Mini Cooper S and the Ford RS2000 MK2.<br /><br />The RS2000 was outstanding ... l adored that car. lt just stuck to the road like glue and the performance was exceptional but there again it was helped by having a Group 1 engine.<br /><br />The Mini Cooper S was great fun too. l'd taken the badge off the boot when it was resprayed and never replaced it. Consequently some people thought it was a standard Mini. How they missed the dead giveaway of the twin tanks is beyond me! <br /><br />Happy days and to top it all l survived all the white knuckle driving to tell the tales!Spartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14845586501410364657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-13375562341242168872010-03-15T12:16:33.887+00:002010-03-15T12:16:33.887+00:00Yes, certainly cool, but perhaps with a touch of i...Yes, certainly cool, but perhaps with a touch of irony?Wrinkled Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291551539649118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-10516846868224699212010-03-15T00:15:33.072+00:002010-03-15T00:15:33.072+00:00I saw a MK1 Ford Escort in my village today. Yello...I saw a MK1 Ford Escort in my village today. Yellow with two go faster stripes down the side. I felt nostalgic for everything we have frittered away over the last 30 years.<br />I'd have loved to have stopped it and jumped in and said "take me to 1978".<br />It had the twin carbs with the aluminium air filter.
