la voiture


So this looked like a great car, so at the appropriate age I traded MONEY for a horizontally opposed flat four, a `73 vw "bug" which in the proper tradition of great cars made me weep on walking away!
Oxygen, water, and salt, combined to to make me cry rivers at the welding bills, and we had it shot.
Weeks turned into months, and the golf GTi was so special I have no photographs!
On the day it was stolen I had porridge for breakfast and had a so- so shift in the EMS business.
Months passed, we bought a 214i Rover, drove it to Portugal and back-FAST, no photographs.
We arrived in Canada, the place is crawling with AWESOME RIDES in the summer and 4x4s and wind tunnel boxes for the rest of the year. What to do ?.......... Back to the days when LOOKS WERE ALL, for the record I think I remember a late 60`s Morris Minor, also a Ford Escort of the same period, (you had to bring your own air-bags) I was better looking as well ,mid- life crisis..........
