    I like your Mini 2 Monique.
    When i bought the Z , a Mini was in the running for quite a while too, the retro styling of the Z3 turned the balance.
    Mostly used for leisurely open top cruising in good weather.

    Thanks Sean. The Mini has a BMW engine, so we are cousins, so to speak! :)

    Nice cars, y'all. But two wheels are all you really need. I'm surprised 007 hasn't caught on.

    Right now I drive a 1995 Chrysler Lebaron convertible. It has very few miles as it's previous owner (My Dad's Uncle) barely used it. It drives great and I absolutely love it. It's great especially for some summer cruising. B-)

    It's about the closest thing one can get to a sports car. :))

    Mine looks exactly like this:

    The Mini engines have been built together with Chrysler, so they are a good example of German-American co-operation :)
    Also the Z3 saw it's first light in Spartanburg, SC and many of them where built there.:007)

    My husband used to ride motorbikes but he was a a real fair weather rider - so in the UK that meant not very often :))

    We have had many bikes over the years but the last bike we had was about 10 years ago ( our daughter is 10 - do the math ;) )

    His favourite of the bunch was a Kawasaki ZZR 1100. He picked it up about 2 days before our wedding. It features in our wedding video more than I do! It was also our transport for our honeymoon.

    His bike days are over now. Think he's more Wild Hogs than Easy Rider these days :))

    Lady Rose, funny post, I hope you didn't have to ride on the back of the bike from the wedding ceremony, it would have been hell on your train.

    Not quite, but there is one shot of me sitting on the bike complete in meringue wedding dress!

    Mine's in black though - and I didn't pay anywhere near the asking price ;)
    Sir M, you should be working on commission. Thanks to our PM conversation Audi chalked up another order today. In Akoya Silver, with xenon fog lamps and an iPod connection. Delivery is due around the end of July though, so it's going to be a long(ing) wait.

    Cheers! {[]

    {[] Aren't we all, these days. But it definitely does help to live in California.

    That's a hell of a bike there, Rose. A friend of mine years ago used to have one of the old four-cylinder 900 Z-1s, one of the first "superbikes." At the time, I had a Honda 750-4, another one of the great motorcycles. Both were amazing machines, but definitely for young men (and judging from what I see more and more these days, women). Despite the image the Motor Company likes to project, Harley is best-suited to the middle-aged: a little slow in the performance department, but noisy and stylish enough in a retro kind of way that traveling the speed limit isn't so bad. Sort of like the difference between an Aston Martin DBS and a Cadillac.
