When it comes to driving cars I’ll never afford, I think I’m doing ok!
In the last year and a bit, I’ve managed to drive my cousin's Holden Club Sport (that’s about all I know about that one as I would much prefer a Ford Falcon… if I ever had the choice that is!), I’ve driven one of the new Dodge Rams (a red one – kind of like driving a tank but super smooth and just dead cool – let’s face it!) and then, just this weekend past, my lazy Sunday was wonderfully interrupted.
I went out for coffee with a friend (and on the way discovered another great café hidden in this sleepy little hollow!)… and there began my latest ‘ride’! It just so happened that my friend drives an almost brand new Mini Cooper – a little grey one to be precise – and she let me get behind the wheel!
Oh man! It was enough to make you weep – seriously! The interior was just so cool… all black and racey and for just a moment, this brunette became the incredible, blond Charlize Theron and the crazy driving of The Italian Job flashed through my mind. Of course, reality set in before I went racing over tram lines and through Cathedral Square and I kept to the speed limit but man was it great fun!
I remember growing up and hearing my Dad comment (after my request of a pink Nifty 50 like all the really cool College girls had!) that there were two things I would never be allowed to drive – one was a motorbike and the other was a mini! …I reckon he might change his mind if he rode in one of these!

Well, considering Lotto is out of the question (!!) I'm left with my little red Honda... which I love truly... truly... *sigh!*
