Rose tinted specs there I think.Modern cars are more expensive to fix but they don't go wrong as often and are a lot safer and more comfortable.

If I had a roomy garage I'd probably enjoy tinkering with an old car but I wouldn't go far in one. Back in the day I'd always carry a toolkit and despite giving a car a good. Look over first on many longer trips that toolkit would be earning its keep.

My car is due around January for MOT and Check Up..
It certainly is a problem when things go wrong..
 My mate has a fancy motor with all the gadgets.. cost him a bomb..
It has just broken down... It is at the garage.. Who inform him that it can be very costly to repair..
  Gone are the days when we could just lift the bonnet up.. twiddle a few things and everything was fine..

. . . like my lovely old Morris Minors.  

Oh dear too much information
We must try and keep from that location
Give it an hour and it'll be OK
Any less your nose will pay 
Then we will need sedation!


So what are you buying your beloveds this year
A yard of Ale,  a crate of beer

Oh dear too much information
We must try and keep from that location
Give it an hour and it'll be OK
Any less your nose will pay

Oh dear too much information 
We must try and keep from that location

Sorry Klondike you were slow on the draw
My line of verse got in before
I probably sat straining and concentrated
It took a while, so you sat and waited
Then when I let rip it shook the door

Oh dear too much information

So what did the Vet say about Peanut today, JBR?

I agree with you Michael.  How low can these people sink.

Nice venue JB.  Just been to a piano recital this evening.
