I am Bill, living in the Austrian mountains in the Salzburg area. You can imagine my age: In 1958 I spent a whole week on Rhodes island with your esteemed Sir Winston Churchill.
Since I got a drivers license I was driving all kind of exotic small and fast cars. Nevertheless I like the small cars best as a Hobby. Presently I am driving a Mini Mayfair 1.3 SPI built at Longbridgde factory in 1992 and licensed in Germany in the beginning of 1993.
The car had 60 000 km when I purchased it, it is Carribean Blue Pearlscent and is more or less still in original condition. the upholsetery had to be renewed, this time with light grey nappa leather and new carpets. The engine does not loose a drop of oil, only a small rust spot on the right hand door.
Greatest fun is in driving the steep mountain roads in summer and winter with snow tires.
Have a look at my photo album which shows a part of the exotic cars I have driven during the years.
I learnt already a lot from this forum and I hope I can contribute now and then.
