For fun! What sort of car would you be if you were a car?

I would have to be an old Jag like Morse drove - leather seats, walnut dash, in British racing green. A bit vintage but still good quality. Been around the block a few times but still going strong with a few tweeks here and there by the local mechanic.

I’d be a 25 year old silver Fiat, nice stylish curves on the outside but an uncomfortable ride nevertheless 😁

Our first Mini - tiny, totally dependable, no frills whatsoever. It was rusting, one headlight only just clinging onto its housing where a seagull had collided with us, and a bullet hole just behind the petrol tank, but it just went on and on and on (also a bit like me😁)! I am now onto our third Mini, but I don’t identify with it nearly so well!

My mother’s first car (she only learned to drive in her 40s) was an already fairly aged pale blue mini.

After it finally ‘died’ it stayed on the drive for ages - a window had been left open and a robin had built its nest in it! So it had to wait until all babies were fledged before going off to the knacker’s yard, poor old Mini.
