    Dale, mate, the Morris, the Midget and the Tojeiro belong to my employers... The Tojeiro was once raced by Stirling Moss, the Morris reminds my bosses of one they had long ago and the Midget was once a daily driver back in their younger days...

    The Morris was just washed and i had a chance to go for a ride in it earlier today... It does 0-60 in about 3-5 minutes but women think it's cute... :)

    My late father-in-law had a dark blue Morris convertible. I'll always regret not buying it after he died...

    What is going on here, first a Midget Mk 1 and now a Morris Minor. :D I had one of those too, a '61 in the ubiquitous Morris blue-green. I put dual SUs off of a Sprite on it. 0-60 was reduced from 3-5 minutes down to 2.5-4.5. I actually lost a drag race against a "66 Mustang (289), and he was driving in reverse! The fold down rear seat was handy for sneaking people into drive-in movies.

    Farther down the page is an Audi Quattro. I have a ur-Quattro (not a swb Sport Quattro like in the photo) that has been sitting in the garage for years, pretty rare here in the states.
