Blogging is new to me, I've read a few but never written one....
As the title suggests both my cars are aluminium, a Year 2000 Land Rover Defender 90 and a 1996 Caterham Seven.
Not only are they both aluminium they are both British, conceived over cups of tea and then loosely thrown together by hand in sheds by men called George wearing tan-coloured dust coats. As a result of this they are largely rubbish at being cars but very good at being engineering benchmarks and design icons and thus utterly absorbing to drive and maintain.
Owning either of these cars will never leave you rich.
Owning both of them at once will leave you borderline bankrupt. But happy. Occasionally.
