Growing Old

[John Turney]

I'm guessing that most of us can. May-be Basil can put together a histogram of our ages and see if we're normally distributed or not. I didn't say normal - not going there.

I think there was one a few years ago, when we were all younger.

I accept the fact I'm closing in on 89 now, and I actually enjoy telling younger folks that the Sunbeam Alpinr I have in the garage I've had now over 51 years so longer than many who've asked have been alive.

Who are these "normal" people you speak of?
I've heard of them,but didn't think that they actually exist.

Allegedly they are the ones without British cars in bits in the garage.


But I claim the ones without an old Brit car are the ones that are out of step.

Didn't notice, hit the wrong keys as I'm closing in on 70, not quite 89 yet.... Sometimes I touch type fine, other times an oops or two can creep in.

No helmets, shin guards or knee pads either.
That ramp isn't OSHA approved.

Interesting - I would say that was 70's not 80's but, aside from the sentiment (which I agree with) it sure seems that AI is getting better and better - though the car in the background either has three doors or the biggest vent window I have ever seen.

Nice catch!

The girl is also standing on a patch of grass in the middle of the street.

Well that sucks all of the fun out of a good post.

VERY STRANGE INDEED, roof racks on a sedan?

The kid's shoes/socks say 70s too to me. In fact I still have a pair of those sneakers from when I was a teen in the early 70s, they're considered classics now and if you hit the right vintage site can go for good money if you want to sell.

The top of the car is in a different color than the bottom in a combination that would never be offered by a dealer.

That’s a Mercedes w123 6 door limo
In their metallic brown hence the colour variation from sun to shade





And if you state it with enough “gravitas” it must be true. …..

Then sneak in a picture
