So today at work this bloke of much older age of me dropped his G220 off for some repairs, and i gave a lift back to his son's buissness...
During the ride, he tells me of his 60 years of fixing up old jeeps, and the the fun you get with cars. He soon started about is Fairlane... "Not a bruise on it until this accident" "Its a good car, nice big V8...does 10.8 liters...that's 21mpg, which is darn good" "Its had an easy life, just done 120 thousand" I commented that being a fairlane, that it still has plenty in it... "oh yeah, barely run in yet" It's nice to hear these sorts of things, most of these older types have their Peugeot's and Toyotas. But this ol' chap has his big, V8 Aussie car, and sounds like he wouldn't have it any other way. Kudos to him.
