DREAM CAR

As we made our way back to the main arena, we passed a small but unusual car.

Wilson ran over to it, and announced that this was his ‘Dream Car’ – the car he wanted to own when he grew up and was old enough to drive – and Byron agreed.

It had never occurred to me that a Robin Reliant would ever be anyone’s Dream Car – but then, I’d never before seen a Robin Reliant halftrack.

The boys walked round it several times, declaring it to be ‘Way Cool’ and ‘Awesome’.

I could appreciate that it would be good over rough terrain, and that if W were driving he probably wouldn’t be able to exceed any speed limits, but beyond that its appeal rather eluded me. 

It must be my age. 

Or my love of comfort in a car…
