Yayyyy I'm rapt.
Yeah you'...Thanks Punch. Yayyyy I'm rapt. <br /><br />Yeah you're right Bob - wasn't so bad though I did look at at least 30 cars over the weekend and test drove 5 or 6. I guess it could be said I don't have a lot of patience :-)<br /><br />Simon - major qualms but bought an auto. My first ever but that's all that's being imported these days apparently. In all my looking over the last couple of weeks I have only seen 1 manual in the 'vintage' I was looking for. Took this one for a couple of hours drive yesterday and once I got the hang of what to do with the accelerator and how to make it change up/down as I wanted, I kind of feel OK about it. PS Simon I read all your posts (and even laugh occasionally when I get it) but am intimidated to leave a comment most times as you're way too clever for me. <br /><br />You're right Lori - I've been somewhat unfair. Most were pretty good actually. <br /><br />Vole - my first car was a Morris Minor (before Jap imports took over here in the 90's) though not a convertible. Good little car. Actually that's a lie, it was a piece of shit but only cause it was a wreck. Our public transport here is shite though slowly improving. You must be pretty good at the violin though if you were to visit NZ you'd be driving in a fortnight - no choice if you ever want to go anywhere :-)<br /><br />Thanks Joanne - it's worked out great.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519427492100090401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575743422154846162.post-84267243661683485792009-08-11T01:52:36.918+12:002009-08-11T01:52:36.918+12:00Congrats on the purchase - love the sound of the c...Congrats on the purchase - love the sound of the colour!!!

On that basis, I'd like a Morris Minor convertible and a 60s Citroen DS. Every time I think about driving lessons, I go for more violin lessons instead, as I have the luxury of living near work on a small island.The Plashing Volehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021407602157515927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575743422154846162.post-64841526099173539082009-08-11T01:19:55.150+12:002009-08-11T01:19:55.150+12:00Well you did it.

I had to settle for a nearly black one when I bought one six years ago: nothing like black for getting ridiculously hot in summer.<br /><br />Oh yes, hope you managed to get a manual gearbox version.
