Dreaming of a Classic Sports Car
Leo
My grandfather had a wonderful vintage sports car when he was young. Looking at his old photos made me love them too. Someday, I really want to get one. I don’t care if the engine is loud or quiet, I just want it to look beautiful. My perfect trip is taking it to the coast and going along the beach road on a sunny day. I wouldn’t go alone, though. I want my best mates to sit inside with me. We could have a great time!
Sam
I watch lots of videos about vintage sports cars online. Many people like bright red or yellow ones, but my favourite is black. I think it looks so much cooler! The best thing about these old machines is how they sound when you start them. It is really loud and it is like music to me. I don’t know how to fix broken parts, though. If my car stops working, I will definitely pay a mechanic to do the job for me.
Max
I want an old sports car from the 1960s, but they are very expensive to buy. I put some of my pocket money in a box every week because I really need it for this dream. I won’t drive it to the sea because salt is bad for old metal. Instead, my plan is to find a cheap, broken one. I want to learn how to make it work again by myself in my garage. Doing the hard work alone sounds amazing!
