That's the whole purpose of a convertible.

Our Matrix is a front wheel drive and I can say it does what we ask of it and has had only one repair since we've had it.  An oil leak in 9 years isn't bad.

I remember when I bought the Reliant.  It was the first of the transverse engines in the USA.  I went to Baton Rouge for a staff meeting and the guys wanted to look at the engine.  I had about a dozen guys oohing and aahing, pushing and poking.  The whole time I'm thinking, "I hope it still runs after all they're doing to it.  It's 90 miles to New Orleans."  No damage was done and I felt like the ugly step sister being upstaged by her beauty queen stepsister.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

A coworker has a mini. Not a cab but a very cool one, nevertheless. She's very happy with it.

I am driving a 3L turbo diesel Mercedes Elegance at the moment (my brother's car) and so it is going to be rather a different driving experience for me.

The reason i am having this car  -  My son's Dad has decided after five years i am a pretty good mistress/whore and i finally deserve a new car (yes- it finally paid off)

Now, the urchin loves cars, and also loves driving around with the windows down (its a sensory thing i guess)  so his dad wanted me to have a cabriolet.

My budget was 15k which got stretched to 17k and there are very few new cabs within that price range.  A fiat 500,  a smart,  and the mini.  I don't like those smart cars, too small and doesn't fiat stand for  Fix  It  Again  Tomorrow? :laugh: so it really only left the mini.

The main point behind it is the mini cab is a fun car!  It's all about 'the urchin' and my whole evolves around him (as it should) AND HE LOVES IT!!

I dunno why i am explaining this - but that is the reason.

British cars are the only good cars in the world. And American cars suck ass. (even though Ford owns Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Land Rover) Jeremy Clarkson said so! :zoinks:

Jeremy Clarkson does know what he is talking about, a lot of the time, but he frequently also talks out of his ass. Ford sold off both Jaguar and Land Rover in 2008, and Aston Martin a year earlier.

Ok,  Clarkson is just funny.  He is not always right and afaik he is taken with a pinch of salt.

He once said my city,  Birmingham, is like a used rugby players bath  - empty in the centre with a ring of scum around the outside :zoinks:

Anyhow there are very few 'British' cars left,  i can only think of 'Morgan' that is a totally British affair.   Possibly the London Taxi Company which is fine if you are after a black cab. :zoinks:
