Amazing, or amusing, to see that a "mini" has outgrown the old Farina.

Mirrors are not necessary in France?

Only as an aid to touch parking.

These look like my kind of cars - hope they fall into good hands soon.

Particularly like the bronze de Tomaso Longchamps - here's a picture of one all blinged up to show it can still hang loose with da boyz from da hood - or something like that:

The characters "Howard and Hilda" from the TV show "Ever Decreasing Circles", they always wore matching clothes and the reference is to the matching cars.

We had a reference to it before in this post:

Please note I am making no reference to Colin and Diane and their choice of Polo shirts at events, this is purely coincidental.
