I opened up my copy of The Vancouver Sun to the auto section today and behold...There was a pic and (very) short write up about The Concours de LeMons in Monterey California where our very own Mike Harrell (MG Metro) entered his rusty 2-stroke Saab 9-6 towing a ratty HMV Freeway micro-car!

Thanks Mike, I am going to show the article to wife wife to show just how normal my automotive interests are! spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

Update!

With some online research I found that Mike won two categories:
Swedish Meatballs
Long Distance Award

Congratulations Mike!

Here's his rig!

Hahaha....that's great!

Never seen that micro-car before. Wonder what it's like to drive?

We all know about the Saab but I had to Google the HMV: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMV_Freeway
