| corsa 1 pop breeze - i usually walked to where i wanted to go - got there quicker corsa 1.2 sxi - bought it to have a nicer interior as the first corsa had big wheels and exhaust (no comments please) but a nasty interior mini cooper - the only car for the driver who loves driving  |

| In approximate order... 1966 VW Beetle - cost me $75 back in 1976 1958 Austion Healey Bugeye Sprite - the most rusted car I ever owned 1969 VW Beetle - autocrossed the wheels off it 1966 MGB - kissed the back end of a pickup 1972 Lotus Europa S2 - sweet, but the bad tires and poor judgement led to kissing a big tree 1966 VW Bus - the dogs loved it 1971 MGB - literally covered the USA in it from coast to coast. biggest sales regret. 1969 Ford Bronco - my first American car. second biggest sales regret. 1980 Mercedes 300SD - loved this car. bought it used and drove it to 295,000 miles 1973 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special - now in the garage for restoration 1996 Jeep Wrangler - bleh 2002 Honda Odyssey - engine was a lemon  2002 Honda Odyssey - much better. pushing 100,000 miles 1979 Mercedes 450SLC 5.0 - built for rallying homologation. aluminum engine and body pieces. love it. The Europas are the only cars I'd put in the same league as the MINI for handling, but they lack the power. I haven't driven the TCS in a while, so I have a hard time comparing, but I suspect that on a twisty road, the Lotus would give it a good run. The Europa is also the only car that would give a MINI a run on comments and questions from strangers. The MB 5.0 would take a MINI on the autobahn, but throw some curves in and forget it. |
