I have had Issues with credit cards in Europe
Oddly enough, in the late 80s my first car was a 1965 MG convertible. Mine was baby blue though (and not nearly as nice as the one in the photo). My father sold it soon after I turned 16 after my mother read a story about them taking flight at higher speeds, and because it didnt have a roll bar.
Like Pete mentioned, they are a lot of fun to drive, much in a way that a go-cart is fun to drive.......the MG has a way of making you feel as though you are going faster than you actually are, a mix of the lo-to-the-ground stance and the palpable vibrations and sounds coming from the power train and exhaust.... added to tearing through the stick-shift gears and the wind in your hair, it made for a great experience.
I purchased the MG when I was 14 for $500 (from a couple of nudists of all things) and saved it from over a decade of dormancy and dust in a garage. I then spent two years restoring what I could afford (a new top, some new floorboards, and minor bodywork). I hated mom a little bit for making me get rid of it, but I am a parent now, so am at peace with it.
But I loved that car, and it will always hold a special place in my memory (better than the Honda I got after that, that is for sure).
I liked my old XJS, pain in the ass though to keep up. I finally gave up on her.

My dad had the 69 XKE roadster convertible, very expensive to maintenance the old Jags.
I just bought this 1929 Mercedes kit car today.I have a '73 Karmann Ghia that I plan to restore sometime in the future.
I have always wanted a thing.
Hoping it looks something like this
Obviously it needs a lot of work, but it will be fun to drive once restored.
Should look something like this.

Have you restored cars before?
My mid life with kid ass will run you the fuck over in this on my way to Costco.
I have never brought a total rust bucket back to life. But i have fixed up some old bugs that needed a lot of attention.

ive owned a 1970 Camaro, 76 Pontiac formula, 81 turbo trans am, 86 g.t.a, 81 covette, 85 corvette.....the only thing im missing is the delorean. fuck this n.w.o bush/Obama/Clinton shit...
I drive a Pontiac g6 v6 right now....
il be honest, the other day I was looking at the new Honda civic si with all the add ons.. real cool car if u live in the city... I also looked at the new nisson juke sport with the performance mode.. il probably end up with a kia Sorrento(non union American made)....
its fucked up that g.m shut down the Pontiac division.. Pontiac always had sports cars with a luxery tinge to it..
Lotus Elise was the best I've had as posted in NWP back in the day, but it became a bit of a luxury and the other beemer died so now I just have this one and love it.
