By Special Request

Since I'm not allowed to drive for a week or two - I'm going to be Miss Daisy and get myself driven around. So... in exchange for some light driving for me, how about a car for you?

I thought it would be interesting to pick a car that I thought you would like. :)

All the cars will be decribed in the text

A dandelion yellow 2001 Porche 911 Turbo - For AusGrl




A screaming red 1957 VW Karmann Ghia - For Punkn




An equally screaming red 1966 Ford Mustang - For ChicagoLady




A black with gold race stripes 1966 Ford Shelby Mustang - For LadyStyx




A green 1974 Ford Mustang (the white vinyl top to be added later) - For Alice Kay

I don't think I'll let the ScubaDude do any driving...




A classy silver 1957 Corvette (or the red and white one previously posted) - For Karla




A white Cadillac sedan decorated for a wedding - For Lainie




A white 1964 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud IIl Saloon limo - For MarmiteToasty

I can just see her pulling along side another Rolls, putting the window down and saying, "Pardon me, would you have any Marmite in the brown bottle?"




A British racing green 1968 Triumph TR-250 - For Tori




A charming blue and white 1956 Nash Metropolitan - For Jess




1971 Cadillac (the longhorns are in the mail) - For YellowDog Granny




A yellow 1971 Checker Cab Model A-12 - For Marz




BMW with special paint - For Island11



1958 Ford Edsel - For Me...

Oh! I love my Karmann Ghia! You have an amaziing memory Iggy, since it was months and months ago that I blogged that Jim drove a Karmann Ghia when we virst started dating those oh so many years ago. Snickers a little... mine gets a lot better gas mileage than all the others put together :}

Karla said...

AliceKay said...

This is a great post, Iggy. What awesome cars you found for everyone. Yep, that one looks like my Mustang did except for the roof...mine was white. And no, Scubadude isn't driving this one. LOL

Jess said...

Omg!
I get my own car!
And I can't even drive!
I'm going to make a cool den in the back seat with my duvet.
I always pictured myself with some sort of small rubbish car that was lime green/magenta/orange/*insert really bright and unusual colour here*.
Also must say that that yellow mustang is rather nice too, as well as the good old rolls.
Thank you - you know just how to please us blog readers. :)

OMG, it's perfect!!!!!!! I can just hear the engine rumble, waiting for the accelerator to be mashed to the floor.

*Now I just need to learn how to drive a manual transmission*

AliceKay said...

*knows how to drive a stick*

My Mustang was a 4-speed manual transmission and so was my Escort. And so is Terri's pickup truck.

MarmiteToasty said...

ps....... and I think its wellabit funny how you call cars with a gearstick.... shift sticks LMFAO.....

most cars over here have gear sticks and automatics without the gearstick are not very popular..... on saying that my Toyota Previa which Ive had 2 years now is an automatic, I would NOT of choosen it if I had had a choice, but it was the right colour car at the right time LOL..... I much prefer to drive proper with a gear stick......

Marmite,

Your car is ready. Took me a while to scratch up and count the nickels and dimes for it - and then to convert them to pounds - all 101,000 pounds of it - and for a VW at that.

Oh bad news... A 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.

MarmiteToasty said...

AliceKay said...

I almost died when I saw the price of that car. Wow!

Deanna said...

For some reason I have stick shifts, shift sticks and gear sticks on my mind today. LOL surely that can't mean I've been reading comments...
Whatever the standard transmission thingy is called, I'll have to admit I love driving one. I love the feeling of control and power as I shift through the gears. Until recent years all of my cars were stick shifts. They do pose a problem, though, if you have an injured wing or hoof.

My Dad wont let me drive. I did offer. Was going to drive myself to the hospital last week to save him the trip. He wouldn't even give me the keys. Can't think why. ;)

Deanna said...
