Charm?
It was lots of things but I never thought of it as charming I took my father-in-law for a ride, and he rolled out onto the driveway moaning "He's trying to kill me, I've never been so terrified!" My fleet in 1990. The rusty green van was my neighbor's veh...
I think I had one of those - I can't remember
There it is - a friend from France I helped her sell the car over here. ...
