We would like to actually fit some of the cars in it - that is why we built it :-?
Grant had a laugh the other day (for those of you rubbishing his choice of vehicle). He was driving home, top down, when the cars up ahead came to a halt at the roundabout. Grant was just starting to slow down before he reached them when a male cyclist shot up the left side of him hurling abuse of some sort (he couldn't make out what he was saying exactly) while looking back at Grant. It was at this point the cyclist hadn't noticed the front vehicles had come to a halt and, because he was still looking back at Grant yelling whatever, he plowed into the back of the next car, breaking tail lights and falling off his bike. Needless to say, Grant didn't stop to help him but sniggered all the way home. :lol:
Not sure why males feel the need to hurl rude remarks to people when they don't approve of their vehicle choice :roll:
Young kids love it and often wave excitedly.
A bit different from earlier days when he had a Jensen Healey convertible. Not only was it one of very few in the country but I think it was the only convertible in Blenheim (you rarely saw them back in the 70's). I used to hate going out in it with him as everywhere we went guys came up wanting to discuss the car, it's engine, performance etc etc and everyone stared at you when you drove past. :-?
I much preferred the motorbike and the anonymity of helmets :lol:
Mind you, when he sold the Jensen, it paid for a brand new car, the section, and part of the house we built.
