Mini in blue with a flag on top

“Ride a mini cooper, the tiny four wheel vehicle and you never go back to a Volkswagen, or, what ever kind of car” Gun Roswell

Mini in blue with a flag on top

A Union Jack flag, painted, on the very top of her head
Two white ‘go’ stripes, adorning, the hood ahead
Her headlights, big, bright and very shiny things, and yes, oh so metallic
As I continue listing all these qualities, I am getting so, so ecstatic
Darkest of blue, is the shiny coat she wears
Why don’t you, just take a peek inside, if you dare
(I know you want to, go ahead, it’s alright, she won’t bite, well, maybe, just a nibble!)
Lot’s of room, in this small, little gal is packed
Four seats, even ample storage, and a motor, in the back
She truly is, a complete package, of beauty and smart
This tiny, and little, old school mini cooper, is a totally and utterly, lovable car

Head on

“Collision or just bad parking?” Gun Roswell

Head on

A head on collision at
The parking lot happened, two cars
Face to face, neither of

Them budging, toe to toe
Like two of foes, who will win
Or maybe, just bad parking?

Yellow Mini-marine

“Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It’s the only way to live
In cars”
Gary Numan – Cars

Yellow Mini-marine

We all want to drive a yellow Mini-marine
A yellow Mini-marine, a yellow Mini-marine
Life is fun in a yellow Mini-marine
A yellow Mini-marine, a yellow Mini-marine
I also wanted one for me
A yellow Mini-marine, a yellow Mini-marine
But turned out there was a larger fee
For a yellow Mini-marine, a yellow Mini-marine
So instead I went out to ski
Instead of driving a yellow Mini-marine, a yellow Mini-marine

Baby, I Can Drive My Car

Posted in the Throwback Thursday: Cars!

“I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I’m gone” Steven Wright

Baby, I Can Drive My Car

drive my car

Setting the scene
Pedal to the metal
Nerves unsettled
Giving it some gas
A little more for the blast
Overheating the machine

The engine is revving
Feels like heaven
Seeing is believing
The stress finally relieving
All the senses perceiving

No time to scoff
No time to fear
The moment is here
The road ahead, clear
Blast off!

Baby I can drive my car
Even though I’m not a star
Still I’m getting very far
Performance getting up to par
And maybe I love you babe

Mini Cooper 

Baby I can drive my car?
Guess I will be going far?
I’m not going to be a star
But I like playing a guitar
Oh and driving my car,
My Mini Cooper car!

Beep, beep, beep – Yeah!

What,
Could be more finer

My Morris Minor
Driving down the road
Slowly grooving
With the flow

Just smile
And be kind
