    I would like a tortoise with a wheel. Not one fitted specially for me but where the tortoise had been poorly. And maybe a baby panda. Please.

    Correction.

    Apparently I'd be living in a Castle with an entire menagerie of exotic animal species. :D

    There's a bloke in central Sydney drives a electric wheelchair with a plastic Elvis standing on a toy piano on the front blasting out Enrico Moricone music

    I've not seen him for a couple of years now. I hope he's okay.

    Just imagine the expense Chewie faces over the next few years and Mrs McT's wants will seem frugal. it is all relative.

    Sorry Chewie, but that does actually make me feel better. :)

    I really thought that was going to be a video of the man with his wheelchair et al.

    Disappointed.

    It's one of these:
    To me that looks "like every other oversized car on the roads .... big, heavy, cumbersome, awkward".

    I'd go for something small and sporty if I were choosing some "dream car".

    I'd not want something that stood out - too many loons these days wanting to have a pop at it.

    I'd want something that was easy to park in small spots, with a roof that comes off and is cheap enough to run that I wouldn't have to calculate the cost to drive to the beach each time I even thought about taking it out :)

    The "luxury" bit would have to be an electric roof .... rather than having to park up and fold it all away carefully, then reinstate it every time I parked....
