I would like about a 68 Hillman, rust free of course.
I had one in the early seventies, sold it to My sister, Dad fixed the shifter, She drove that thing about a hundred and fifty miles, one way, on gravel roads,several times a week for about three years.
She still proclaims that was the best car She ever owned.
If I found one, I would secretly get it mechanically fit and give it to Her.

So if you are buying 'Merican trucks and getting them shipped there can I get cars from there sent here? What I really want is a Reliant Robin.

Sounds like a fair swap. Fill yer boots! (I reckon if I stack em I can squeeze at least a dozen plastic pigs in a 40 ft box) :gr_grin:

Don't be dissin my dustbusters. :rofl: I do wish they had more than a Quad 4 with the 5 speed. I'd put a 5 speed in mine, but arthritis and living in the city would not do well.

Fuggers have Tahoes here, I had a run in with one this morning as he ran me off the fuggin road. I'm surprised he didn't come back and shoot me so they could say it is justified like always. APD shoots a guy running away, unarmed, not a threat to anyone and they shoot him in the back of the head, first saying it was justified, then saying it was an accident and now saying it's justified again.
