Convertibles....

We were at John's, our old university friend, place the other day in Kits....wonderful sitting out on the patio...ah summer... and he mentioned he and his partner just bought a Volkswagon Eos convertible.  They were taking delivery the next day so we didn't see it but we were quite intrigued since we didn't know anything about this car.   It's a great concept...permanent hard top with built-in sunroof and seating for four people.  We took a test drive  on Tuesday and were very impressed.  Certainly something to keep in mind if we buy a convertible again.

 Just touch a button and the top folds in.  And the front seats push forward easily and far so no big hassle getting into the back seat.  We found the Mustang terrible for that.




But I still don't think there is a more beautiful car than the 1957 Belair Convertible (Don sent me a bunch of great photos of old cars lately).
