    ... and it's sooooo damn sexy. I love it. It arrived about an hour ago and I've been driving around in it. It's soooo cool - every time someone does a double take I can't help grinning! What I need now is a decent windfall so I can afford to keep it!

    I've put a couple of extra pics on the website - unfortunately it's a bit of a hectic day today here at Stumpy Towers, so I'll get some more later of the interior and (when I've read the instructions!) with the top down. :T:T

    I'm off to pick my little boy up from nursery soon - can't wait to see his face when he sees it! (and he'll probably be rather pleased at the free "teddy" I received as well!). :D:D

    Ooops - forgot to upload the pics!! They'll be there soon, honest!

    LOL. Actually I really wish I could afford to - and it really surprised me when it arrived - my husband said "what a lovely little car" - up until now he's been of the opinion that it was a floozies car. I think because some of the pictures don't really do it justice. It isn't a bright pink car, it's just the right shade of pink! :D

    Edit - I tried Beaulieu but they weren't interested - very helpful though - they sent me a list of various museums around the country. Never knew there were so many!

    Unfortunately, the one that I thought might be most interested was a Ford Motor Museum, but I've been unable to contact them - I've had two addresses - one from their website and one from the list Beaulieu sent, but neither work.

    I suppose I could write or phone them - I might do a letter, I'm not very good at talking to people (surprisingly!) - especially when I'm trying to "do a deal". The e-mail address just returns a "timed out" error message.
