Default Mid life crises

Who’s reliving her youth running around Yass?
I thought Max would have learnt to steer clear of cars with Lucas electrical.
Now Max will have to buy his first car. (T model ford)

The mid life crisis has returned from her drive, I got her up to 65mph on the highway.A much more enjoyable experience than in those green things that live around here, I'd recommend you purchase one for your wife and Keith get one also for Belinda, make sure they are original though not the souped up ones that are common.

Default Belinda's first car

Kathy I doubt I'd be able to find anything as crappy as Belinda's first car, a Chrysler Gallant which she managed to blow up. Her next one was a lot better, a Peugeot 203 with the early rear window.

Howard, keep guessing... Lucas electrics... and here's a snippet of a song: "We are the self preservation society..."

Took me a few minutes to find it but had to laugh, I had an idea it might be the teetering bus.

Keith I didn't tell you to buy Belinda the same car as her first car I was asking that you at least give her the chance to experience this mid life crisis thing and still have a smile on her face. I've been told though by he who knows all that I have to slow down or my experience will end the same as Belindas first car.

Here is a photo of the mid life crisis being driven by the newlyweds, they are wondering if they can pack the mini into their suitcase and take it with them on their honeymoon when they go in October, or better still they should perhaps just drive there, what do you think? I think it's somewhere in the northern hemisphere.

An overland trip would be exciting for them!

Yes take the car, you'll stay close and no room in the boot to bring back junk.
