This hit my email inbox a few minutes ago. I don't work for this company, nor do I own one of these, but I thought "Sleek Outside, Athletic Inside" yup, that's what I would like to achieve! In my dreams!

Happy running everyone! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻😀😀😴😴

LOL - mine would be a Reliant Robin!

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

LOL 😂 love those cars! Who had one? Someone on a TV programme.

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Flossie22]

Rowan Atkinson's nemesis in 'Mr Bean'. But if you wan tot see the coolest car of all time - go to Croydon and check out the Bubble Car they have in the wee museum at City Hall! I am not into cars - but twice made the journey there just to see it again and show some friends A lovely relic of the innocent and definitely much slower Past

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Oh yes of course! Mr Bean! Hilarious. Ok, will do IJ, on my list for Christmas holiday visit. Is it a red bubble car 🚗 by any chance? Noddy springs to mind 😀

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to Flossie22]

Found it, Trojan 200, and it is RED! 😊 The clock tower looks stunning too.

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Flossie22]

I spent many happy times in Croydon in the past. Unfortunately no longer, but I try and visit every couple of years to visit old haunts. And I always say 'Howya!' to Good old Vicky who sits in front of the Clock Tower

Oh goodness, what a great sound bite! Not so fussed on the beemer but a body which could be described as that would be good! :)👍

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to melly4012]

Yup, that's what I'm aiming for next year!! 😀

I rather like the 'prancing pony' description I think mfamilias mentioned once. Thoroughbred of course..😆

So maybe a Ferrari is more my style.xx

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

I'm the living embodiment of Helga, my VW Beetle. Sturdy, trustworthy, and with a modestly low upper speed limit.

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to mfamilias]

Lovely one mfamilias ! My Dad called his Volvo Helga. It was like driving an armchair, very comfy. 😀

[mfamilias Graduate in reply to Flossie22]

Helgas are obviously classy, cosy old ladies. My Helga was manufactured in Mexico (and needless to say, she does NOT like the Donald). Calculus (the French hubby) was perplexed to see me give her a name when I bought her back when we were students in 1991. I brought Bigfoot home from the maternity ward in her in 1996, then he learned to drive in her in 2014. She's now waiting for Kiddo to pass his driving test, and will no doubt become his first car.

[Flossie22 Graduate in reply to mfamilias]

How wonderful! I think it is important to name your cars. My first ever car was a little mustard yellow Mini Clubman Estate, I used to joke with my friends and say I had an estate car (LOL) turn up in my little mini and they would raise their eyebrows. I called her Peggy, on account of having to use a clothes peg (wooden of course) to hold the choke out. Ah those were the days . . . no "automatic choke" like now-a-days! LOL

[mfamilias Graduate in reply to Flossie22]

I love Minis! And a yellow one... talk about being easy to find in the car park The only thing stopping me is that you can't fit three massive teenagers and a golden retriever inside without being Houdini.
