ORIGINAL: MissFem Car.....what kind would you be? A Hillman Husky station wagon, of course. Many years ago, i owned one of the original Austin-Healeys exported from the UK. It was so British that the transmission shift pattern was backward, supposedly because British cars have the wheel on the right side, and drive on the left side of a two-lane highway. Anyhow, when i made a sudden stop, the left-front wire wheel went in one direction, while the car went in another. (No one told me that the hubs on knockoff wire wheels had to be kept greased, or they would lock up.) And with some cars, driving with only 3 wheels ain't exactly possible. i had it towed to a body shop, and was given a loan car, which was a Hillman Husky station wagon. Eh, gad! But then i found out what that loaner was good for. After driving it around a bit, i found that it could turn in very short circles, so i picked up a group of friends and proceeded to a cul de sac, where i was able to drive fast in very short circles. What a rush! It was hard saying goodbye to that car. [:(]
