Daisy of Chasing Daisy wants you to talk amongst yourselves today:
I don't think this is a genuine advert (more likely an imaginative car salesman wanting to get some attention) but it got me thinking - if Ali were a car, what model would she be? A sleek red sporty number? A tough, practical off-roader?
What do you think? And what make and model would you like to be?
This ought to be interesting.
I will tell you all one thing, though:
I am NOT a Ford KA!

A lime green VW GTI 5-Speed. Sleek, sporty, fun, sexy. But sensible at the same time (diesel for great mileage, and all-wheel drive for safety).

Ali? Definitely a black Saab 9-3 convertible.
Me? 60's Land Rover (short wheelbase).

What the heck is a Ford KA? Good luck selling that one!
I think Ali is a red Karmann Ghia. Classic.
I fancy myself a Toyota MR2 spider. Small, quick, and cool without being pretentious.

Right, cars. Ali likes France, so shouldn't she be a Renault? Or a Masseratti? Maybe a nice red or yellow. With a dual core Athelon and 16 gig of memory, two mirroring 500 gig 7200 rpm hard drives, wireless ergonomic keyboard and mouse, and excellent coffee! Her car comes bristling with Nikon equipment ready to capture the most succulent images imaginable at a moments notice, hence the huge water cooled braking system with the hydraulics. Don't let me get started on her power supply or her graphics capabilities! Everything you'd want in an excellent car. It was custom made, one of a kind. You'd have to ask Ali if it was French or actually Italian designers who did the exterior.

I would like to be a sleek, elegant Jaguar. However, I am probably more of a Mini.

For Catheroo: Picture of a Ford Ka. I always think they look like a surgical boot.

Yo Daisy, that's a Smart in that there link. But the car in the ad up there is a Ka. Oh, and the Smart? Does look like a surgical boot.

I see Ali as a Mini Cooper. Cute, chic, stylish, and exciting feelings of aquisitiveness and envy in all beholders.
Me, I would be a baby blue 8-cylinder '68 Ford Mustang with a white rag top.

I think she might be a little triumph or MGB. something unusual, but with a loyal, rabid following..
what would I be? I think I would be............ a 1980 volkswagon rabbit cabriolet. my first car. I always felt like that car *was* me. powder blue.

Maverick....pumpkin orange. In the past that is.
In todays world? I would visualize a 69' Camaro...396 4 speed turnin 10 in a quarter. And its glossy black. And it has a crew to go with it!

A lavander blue 2CV.
