Hi I'm Karin!

I'm mesmerized by this Citróen Karin. Really, the stuff of front-seated dreams. Do you like it? Anyone got anything like it?

That's the Spirit!

My Other Car is a Carabo!

 Cue Yorkie's comment in today's Stratos post about his Matchbox Alfa Romeo Carabo Bertone, I got to thinking about my own as a kid.

My mind misremembered there being two metallic versions of the Matchbox Carabo,

The glorious purple classic ...

And the magnificent green beauty ...

But Doh! my old grey matter is wrong! The green machine was of course a Corgi Rockets toy!

I had both. Oh boy oh boy!

Which do you prefer readers, purple or green?

Have you any other Carabo cars?

In the meantime my new Bertone is just being delivered!

Ha ha!

In my Mind I'm a Stratos Owner

 It's true, I love this car.

It's UFO, Blade Runner and ASTRO1 rolled into one.

The boot is a triangle.

It has everything all my coolest Superfast and Hot Wheels had.

And you sit in a cockpit.

Hot Wheels saw the light.

The Lancia Stratos.

Forget everything else.

What do you think readers?

What's your dream car?

Yes, Minister!

 I saw an auction toy car listed as Minister. I thought it was the boxed black rolls at the top but it's actually the boxed red tinplate (I think) roadster bottom left. Is there a real car actually called the Minister?

I'M IN LOVE WITH KARIN

 I am in love.

with this Citroën Karin

A concept from 1980, it could be from UFO!

The driver sat between two passengers.

That would be me!

Do you like it?

Das Oldtimer Show, Ewald Mine

 Whilst staying in Recklinghausen, Germany, last Autumn, the Missus and me visited a fabulous vintage car show at an old coal mine.

Here's a few snaps, which I hope you enjoy.

Which is your favourite car?
