Wilma was named after Wilma Rudolph - the fastest woman in the world. Wilma was an MGB but ...

Oh my goodness, a MGB, now I imagine you as a very fast lady, something like this?

I've now explained elsewhere.

My beloved mini was stolen from outside my house last night.

I hope The Turk will return as my avatar soon - when my car is returned to me

You mean someone would steal ... a mini!!? (Only joking, I had at least two myself, great for roadholding at high speeds ...)

It must be disheartening for ff to have had the car stolen, but personally, I would not like to drive an old-style Mini - too dangerous in a crash.

EA, you've changed your Avatar too?

Is it an expression of solidarity with ff, or are you trying to inject a bit of Comic Relief into a sad situation?

I was persuaded to buy a Mini once, because I was told it was trendy, actually it had a Mini Cooper engine, all the add ons, nice paint job, I never felt so unsafe and so low to the ground. I quickly sold it for, yes, a Renault! Boring!

The Renault 5 Gordini wasn't. They then produced ever more outlandish variants, with the engine getting so large it ended up being placed in the rear. Heady days...

Try to cheer up if you can though, eh?

I avoid(ed) motorways and survived for forty years driving minis. Now that I'd have to make do with someone else's cast-off, I may not bother to drive anymore. One thing, whoever's got it has a fantastic little car - only about 13,000 on the clock! And still with its original 24 carat gold bonnet badge - most of them get stolen. I think I'd just as soon they took the whole car.

My brother has invited me to a performance of Carmina Burana next week as compensation

Edit: I'll just pretend I didn't see those other comments
