    I remember all those times in that LeBaron well, Beck.

    I remember think how beautiful you were in the sun driving down Summit.

    You're just as lovely today.

    The poor convertible, however; it needs a new top (or repair the old) new floor, a frame section, fuel system revamp, starting system overhaul, and a major cleanup.

    We'll get there tho.

    It's worth it.

    This was mine. My dad paid $75 for it and we painted it Midnight Blue. Not a bad car. My next was a 1960 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88. Hated it. Then I bought my 1967 Pontiac Firebird. Wish I still had it.

    The memories these machines bring back. I can't imagine my teenage boys 30 years from now reminiscing about the soulless, jelly moulds their generation are driving about in now.

    This was my first,

    It was inexpensive to buy,

    although it cost a good deal to maintain,

    so I got rid of it,

    however,

    I kept the engines:

    My first car was a Ford Capri - 1.3L no less!!!!

    It had flared wheel arches, Wolfrace alloy wheels, orange furry dash etc - you can tell I was living in Essex then! (Still am but my taste in cars has grown considerably).

    Other cars I have had include: Peugeot 205, Ford Granada estate, Peugeot 405, Volvo 460gle, Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat, Alfa Romeo 156, BMW 3 series, and now an Alfa Romeo 159. All the cars from the Peugoet 405 onwards were brand new.

    Can't copy and paste onto here so there are no pictures.

    You'll just have to imagine what my new car looks like, or go on Flickr and search under 'Alfa Romeo 159'
