Nope, I meant one of the points on that car ad that Den posted. You're right. That exterior isn't agressive at all. Marketing people will use anything to snarle you- but as long as she acts so, I'll take it ![]() |

It's nice to have distant cousins like that with a knack for exploding and assembling ...
Did you ever visit him or vice versa? Rosie would like that one with the Standard Oil logo horse for a brother as well, she whispers - I'm afraid she has promiscuous tendencies Well, you would see her in tears were you to show her a Ford Taunus Savoy 1981 |

![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olf7Ibtg1lM&feature=fvwrel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QoKkXDPGmw Never got around to meeting Sandford Bray Chance meeting when I wrote a bit for Cycle world in late 1950,s He being a Bray and a motorcyclist read it and made contact For many years we made tape letters on reel to reel this was pre cassette time remember. I would heave an big lump about 10lbs of a tape machine to Bike and car meets take it on car trips And he did the same sounds of a freight train going over a crossing many cars carrying melons stick in the mind still have the tapes but no means of playing them have to watch out at a car boot sale |

Good Morning Base Campers
----------------------------------------News None. Wish there was some, tho. We wouldn't like to fold, would we? Correction deltavee's Team Episcopalians' new member is no new member, but the Ghost Captain he created for himself to head his team on a permanent basis so somebody is home to mind the gate and water the flowers while he is Trekking. Sorry. That's what you could do, Ghost Plane. It will allow you to move around without having to look over your shoulder. Culture Music One of things Spaniards are experts at is clapping, stamping their feet and wearing beautiful dresses, all of which are important ingredients in a Flaménco to which we shall return at a later date: Palmas Bulería de Jerez The music traditionally used in dance contests for the pasodóble - as we saw and heard it earlier in the pasodóble dance lesson - is played in a full version by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra España Cañí The Elvis Presley version of Spanish Eyes could not be included in a playlist. In some ways a lucky stroke, because I discovered Marty Robbins with a good voice and a sense of humor. His shirt and jewelry ain't bad either: Spanish Eyes EDIT: I forgot - you never heard this Erin McKeown version from a performance in Andover, Massachusetts: Rhode Island Is Famous for You And now after this adjusting and filling in, our Base Camp 8 playlist it done. Base Camp 8 playlist Advertisement Special offer for New Base Campers: Free spot for your tent and all the music you can eat. For a limited time only. ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jul 8, 2011 3:29:27 PM] |

When you have a neat Red car you have to go places with it then park it up so folks can admire your impeccable Taste
----------------------------------------![]() Course its much nicer if you have an open top with a dickey for the younger family members picture from 1920s? cloche hats the ladies are sporting sorta puts there or there abouts They are parked in a corn field note the stooks of Straw behind I dont know Who was driving ? Rex ? or the chauffeur, maybe even the dog. Not able quite work out is Rex behind the wheel or rather is it a left-hand drive car? Someone must have taken the Photo so where do they sit ? or did they use a tripod? ![]() This is quite a sporty Motor as you can see its got a double trumpet Horn it might well have been Red ? and would have suited Toad, (from Kenneth Graham's wind in the willows) He used to Go BEEP BEEP & wreak havoc all over the Country side ![]() ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by densnaps at Jul 10, 2011 6:30:19 AM] |

It's the dog that landed them in the corn field, don den.
The photo is taken by the other dog whom you cannot see for obvious reasons ... ![]() What the make is, I don't even dare think of guessing. Do you know? What is the handsome red car? Humber? Wolseley? It's gotta be British sitting nest to an estuary with quite some tide activity. Looks like a circa 1950 6/8-cylinder heavyweight. Not surprisingly, Rosie would like him for a brother. ![]() Rosie is not going anywhere these days. Her driver has a cold. |
