I bet,like me, you learned to drive in a Datsun Cherry and have never driven an Austin Cambridge.

Re activities online. Many of the worlds art museums can now be visited online. They take you on a tour through the museum to see all the paintings and sculptures.

Incidentally, if I was to enter this, I would have to lie twice because I've only ever owned four cars and two of those were the same model. Everything else has been a pickup.

Wrong on both counts, I'm afraid! I learned to drive in my father's estate (make and model forgotten) and the Cambridge was the first car I owned. Ancient as it was, it did me proud and got me down to Bordeaux and back. Beautiful interior. Built like a tank and similar to drive.

The Datsun was indeed a lovely little car. I had 2 of them, both old and cheap. Funny, I turned out that way myself! :laugh:

Oh but I did! Fairly elderly and a complete indulgence, especially when living and working in London. The only automatic I ever owned before coming to Thailand.

Does that leave any options?

So a toss up between the Essie and Cavalier.

Cavalier for me.

Amazing how wrong we've all been on both lists so far! I've never had an Escort.

I didn't realise quite how many cars I'd owned over the years. I also had a lovely old Mini called Clarissa and a brand new Skoda, which was a running joke at the time but had just been taken over by VW and was a decent little motor. My only new car until Thailand.

It might be worth starting a separate thread if this topic is to be continued.
