Meet THE GROWLER

[alexandral]

Remember when Mr.Alexander persuaded me to get a motorbike and rid of our second car, because "With the financial crisis and petrol prices and etc. two cars is a bit too much for a family of three?" . Less then one year later: We have the bike, it has been paid for, Mr. Alexander rides it to work every day and sometimes he picks Sasha up from school on the bike. Everyone is happy, especially Sasha, whose school-friends are jealous of her going on the bike. But then - Mr. Alexander gets a new idea! We need a car for Sundays and holidays! We just can't live without it because : "What if we need to go to a church convention thingy and have to take our duvets with us? What is going to happen when my sister and my niece come to England for holidays this year? how are we all going to fit into Sputnik?". And to make me agree he devises a cunning plan: he knows that I like old cars so he says that the car that we absolutely can not live without is an old Jaguar XJ6. And I agree. :D

Meet THE GROWLER. This car is totally male in gender. I love love love it to bits. It drives as a treat and it is as long as a battleship:










My Sputnik: it is incredibly red, I had to tone down the Saturation on this picture:

I love The Growler! And the name is very apt, though the body of the car is very classy too. And heee.... SPUTNIK!! *loves* ^o^ I really want a new car too, perhaps a VW Polo or Beetle. Seeing your awesome pics, I want to buy a car back home myself :D

I heart the Sputnik one, because it's tiny.

Wow! Now I want to come visit so I'll be driven around in luxury! :P

Oh, a car from an Indian car company (http://www.reuters.com/article/ousiv/idUSBMA00084220080602). ;)

And do I understand that correctly, you (your family) bought the Jaguar?

And Sasha getting picked up from school on a motor bike. It doesn't get much cooler than that. :D

Have fun! And sputnik is cool too. :)

[girl-undone.livejournal.com]

Oooh! I've always wanted a Jag-u-ar (British pronounciation, of course!) and that one is a beauty! Ride in both your gorgeous cars in good health!

I don't know much about cars, but that is a nice looking one. ;)

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

I have ridiculous amounts of car envy. RIDICULOUS amounts. Happy driving. :)

I love!

Now you have two cars and a bike. I think this defeats the purpose of your original plan. LOL.

And it is a rule or social practice to park like that?

*fans self* I've always been partial to Jaguars (since I was 8 I've wanted a 1968 e-type) so this is just fantastic! You are one lucky lady. :)

I love Sputnik too. Entirely different personalities for each car; I can imagine Sputnik terrorising the Growler as much as a terrier worries at a larger dog. XD

I will try not to drool on your new car *covets*

[catdecember.livejournal.com]

love the car! very classic.

and i love how total opposites your jaguar is with the sputnik - how long the Jaguar is while the sputnik is totally compact than the most compact here in US!

do you guys actually have to park with one side of the car on the sidewalk?
