Garage
A Hillman Minx convertible. Forgot what year but early 60's. My dad went back to Chryslers after trying out something more "sporty" and gave it to me. It had four on the tree and reverse was selected by pulling out on the knob at the end of the gear stick, pushing down and forward. It was a real pain in the ass when the knob came off and the knurled part got ground off so I ended up with a pair of channel locks on the end of the shift lever. I dyed the seats black, had it painted BR Green and put a new top on it. Drove it like I stole it with no seat belts and ended up blowing up the motor outside Palm Springs one day. Had it rebuilt and drove it several more years and finally sold it to a used car lot. Bought a new Ford Cortina with the cash. BR Green of course.
