Fanfic, Fanart, Ford Anglia equivalent, etc.

I haven't posted anything in a long while as I've been trying to read some
fanfics in between trying to keep up with the daily HP digests in addition
to my regular boring Muggle work.  But I just wanted to thank Blaise and
Firebolt and anyone else who recommended CALL OF THE WILD by the Wolfie
Twins.  I took me a while but it was time well spent.  Great Fanfic!   I
also enjoyed THE FIC THAT MUST NOT BE NAMED by Moon (ROTFL!).  I'm
embarrassed to admit that I haven't yet read PoU or DD.  But I WILL get
around to it.  They definitely help fill the void while waiting for Book 5.
:-)
On the subject of Fanart, I was wondering if it's ok to post some artwork of
mine to the groups fanart files.  It's just a couple of pencil drawings I
did after reading the books this past summer and some photos of window
paintings I did at the store where I work.  I'm the store's resident
"artist" (stock person 95% of time) and when I was asked to paint something
for "back to school"  the first thing I thought of was Harry Potter (the
only boy I know of who can't wait for school to start!).  I painted 3
windows with a Harry Potter motif for back to school/Halloween.  I was
pleased to find out that just as many adults knew what I was painting as
kids.  I have to start thinking of Christmas/Holiday stuff now  and am kind
of reluctant to scrape it all off :-(   Anyway, I wanted to ask because I
feel funny just posting my stuff besides I not sure how long it will take me
to do this as I'm practically computer illiterate and will need the expert
help of my 14 year old daughter <G>!
As for the Ford Anglia...does it have an equivalent American counterpart and
name?  I saw a Hot Wheels size car that looked something like it but it was
a 1955 Ford Crown Victoria.  I know that Fords of the same make and model
have different names in England.  Like the Ford Fiesta or Escort was called
the Ford Prefect (like Arthur Dent's Friend) in England.  Any idea about
this, Neil?  I'm not a car buff but if there is an equivalent, I'd buy one.
Last but most definitely not Least.....Congratulations to Penny and her
husband on their good news!!   I know you've heard this before but...having
a child REALLY changes your life !  Your gonna love it! <VBG>
