I know it's a tad fancy, but.....
« Thread Started on Oct 28, 2009, 12:44am »

I've always liked these for as long as I can remember.

One of those cars that to me just looks right - like the Jensen Interceptor and the first Opel Mantas (which all happen to share the same uncluttered four-light configuration!).

I'd never have one though - even if I had the money! I'd turn into Ferris Bueller's friend Cameron's dad......

Talking of pigeons, two were in my workshop tonight and I found a very amusing game to play. Call me cruel if you wish, I'd wait until they started flying about then turned all the lights out - and all you'd here is "flutter flutter flutter flutter BONK!". I feel they'd get fed up with the game before I did! Eventually, they left in a bit of a huff - so I hope they've got the idea that my workshop is not the best place to go if you want peace and quiet!

And to think of all the animal sanctuaries that I sponsor.....still, it's better than having a go with a twelve-bore!

It is a well proportioned car Howard, like the swollen hips at the back, reminds me of the 240Z. And what's wrong with the 'B' series Mantas, lovely cars, owned one myself.

Pigeons are inherently stupid. My Maltese friend suffers from them entering his workshop via the large opening where the roller shutters are (you could drive a bus through that opening). Not much fun when they leave gifts on fresh paint either. We had one recently and we tried everything to get it out of the workshop. In the end we failed and it ended up in the roof somewhere (there are large plastic sheets under the roof to stop any water dripping in) and we never saw it since, probably dead and decomposing. Lovely!
