Try to make do with the back seat of a Corvair.

I'll ONLY say that sometimes my feet got wet, if it was raining! ;-)
You should try an MG! Mind you, it was a lot easier to get them into
that than the Rambler, but less fun when you got inside. Unless you
were realy into getting levers stuck into some uncofortable places
(and I bet here's a website somwhere that capitises on exactly that
sort of thing)
Or a Hillman.


Which one? The Imp?

Husky.

Not exactly a "pussy car"

Is that a military thing like the Austin Champ? Or is it one of those plain
as toast 1958 grey-with-a-lavender-roof 1200cc things like a Ford Prefect
brick? I have a vague recollection of the name, but can't picture it.
