The Old Morgan Sports Car in the Fens


It was a beautiful sunny day as we made our way through the countryside, following the garbage lorry through the Fens. We were approaching the little village of Newton. As we were loading the brown bins, I looked over at a group of terraced cottages and saw a man reversing a red Morgan sports car upon the drive to the side of his house.

I grabbed a quick photo shot for one does not see the old retro Morgan cars too often. It should have had spoked wheels, but for some reason it was sporting newer MG type looking wheels. The vehicle was obviously going to be the man's project.

As he reversed and parked the car, he grinned at us and shook his head. "I'm a bit too old for one of these," he said jokingly.

We laughed and wished him well with his car and continued with a bin clearing as we moved on by.

Owning a Pagani Zonda


The Pagani Zonda Revolucion boasts a six-speed magnesium transversal and sequential gearbox. Its got a lot of car enthusiasts raving about it.

In layman's terms we might call this the ultimate Babe magnet. Sorry if there are any feminists that might be cross by this dreamy little boy fantasy talk. Sometimes we have to indulge ourselves with a wish. This car is a splendid piece of work, but if I had one; I'd be too worried about driving it or parking the little lump of dynamite. It's wonderfully impractical for me in my world, but ho, how I would like to have one for a short space of time.




I can't quite picture my wife and I going to the supermarket in this. Although I would still love to go for a long drive in one. Say from Essex, where I live, to Aberdeen purely to by a bag of crisp in a newsagents around there.
