2012 Project365 (Day 175)

The Mister is at work today so this afternoon the in-laws and I went to Saumarez Park as there was a classic car show. There were loads of lovely cars, but this one has captured my heart! I have always wanted a Morris Minor, but this is a 1971 Morris Traveller with matching trailer. It was tricky to get a decent picture of the whole length of the car because there were cars parked either side. I commented to the owner that I would kill to have this car and then I noticed that he had tracheostomy which meant he had to cover the hole to speak and even then his voice was raspy, so not the brightest thing to say! He told me that this car had indeed nearly killed him and it I had taken all his pocket money for at least two years. He seemed to be rather tickled by my absolute delight in the car which he called Lucie. Gorgeous! One day I will own a Morris Minor!
