Oh, that outfit ... that's the bunch that took over Holt and Best, isn't it ... i wondered what became of them ... so they're trying to sell backhoes now, are they.
Cars .. [in deference to Paul S -g-] ... first new car ever was a '68 VW bug, 1600cc i think ... completely stock, that's the only way they came, there was one option for an AM radio and if you were lucky you could choose colour, i got white because i didn't like the others .... $2200Cdn all up, including tax ... at roughly the same time a guy i was working with paid more than twice that for one of the Chrysler hemi-mega-head creations ... he was always broke after ... killed himself in the stupid thing, didn't live to see the moon landing.
Had a five-cylinder Mercedes 300D later, electric sunroof, electric windows, 'drives like a bank', etc etc ... but it never would pick up the chicks that the VW did.
Now i just have a pickup ... going on sixteen years old, diesel, solid .. it works, good enough ... never did understand the car thing.
Buried a few cars with the John Deere, though -g- ... [seriously] .. cheers |
