Mick and I were talking about that convertible you had way back when. We couldn't remember the make or much else about it. If you get a chance to blog about it, we'd be able to sleep at night again...
I had two convertibles. The first was an Austin Healy Sprite, the bug-eyed version, a 1960 model. The second was a Porsche 914, 1972. It was the best. I got a traffic ticket doing 105 miles per hour heading for Fresno when I woke up late and was one of the organizers of a surprise birthday party and had to get there. Even after getting the ticket, I was on time.
Susan, I had to go to my Aussie slang dictionary (which you gave us in 1999) to see that hoon means one who is what we would call a scofflaw who drives fast and/or recklessly. (There are other meanings for hoon, but I won’t go there.)
It’s odd. Every still photograph I’ve ever seen from the American Civil War era is black and white, but every movie about that time is in color.
