Please note that last week I could not get to every person who commented.
I will try harder this week.
And if I didn't get to your WW last week, I promise I will this week.

Mrs. Jim and I traveled to the Isle of Man a year ago this Spring.
My maternal grandfather's line is from Isle of Man.
We are the Corkill family. The first day there I met a lady whose maiden name was Corkill.
Corkill is a fairly common and known name in Isle of Man.

We enjoyed our visit there immensely, we almost covered the whole country (island). Unlike Ireland and Scotland, we did not rent a car here. Rather we used the very adequate public transportation system.
..
I do not know what year this car is, but my guess is the late 50's or early 60's.

Cool car. I came for Ruby Tuesday, but since there's a little bit of red in this, it counts.

Super cool.

I had a friend who had a Mini Minor once. I think that's what it was called anyway... a little bigger than the Mini Cooper (which, face it, doesn't require much).

Neat cars, but like pretty much everything British Leyland built at the time... be prepared to do a lot of pushing. My '74 Austin Marina got push started about as often as not.

Cool shot!

That is one neat car. On rust spots on it...

I do not miss "The Homestead" I never looked back when we moved. We live in a 2 bedroom apt. now. Love it and so much easier to keep after.

Thanks for your speeding over for a visit.

I think I had a senior moment. I came back to complete my answer and it ended up on the Autumn post about your cute little doggy. Maybe, you can figure it all out on your own...;)

Happy WW!

Happy WW! That is one kewl car!

I invite your blog readers to see Anti-Sarah Palin rally up in Alaska on my WW-post this week. Not much coverage of this event in the MSM...

peace, Villager

It's a cute car, but the pea-green color is a little off-putting. I'd like to see it painted red!

Nice shot. That's a gem. I don't think I've ever seen one before.

Awesome color! Not sure the original manufacturer offered that shade, but if not, they should have. Happy WW!

Groovy! (a la Austin Powers, yeah baby!)

Someday, I hope to emulate you and Mrs. Jim... traveling together *wishful thinking*
