Got it in one, one time he was in my driveway looking over my 7 series, another time looking through our trailer to see what we were throwing out, he's one of those types who has no life and is too busy getting up in everyone elses business

I have a similar neighbour. Eventually he discovered I’d run out of warnings and patience. No problems now.

Across the road neighbour left me a note rather than knock on the door.
I used to leave for work about 7am and they didnt. I'll never forget the line.."let me point to your (obviously) faulty muffler". Haha, no thats a recently installed set of Pacemakers |

ED XR falcons are a fav of mine, agreed never see them anymore.
Other day riding to work, i see in the distance what looked to be an ED XR6. Got closer, was a plain jane model with a bona fide XR front.

I don't know how many orange ones they made but I got a short drive in one in Adelaide on my 21st birthday so it may have been that car. |

I was working at British Leyland in Zetland when these were released. My job was to grab a piece of ticker tape run it through a computer (?) and it would tell me what number/colour tag to hang in the headlight gap. When the first P76 came through there was no tape thing, production ground to a halt over 4 hours as it had slipped onto the line 2 days early.

Bloke riding a Grom. They’ve all but vanished around here, it’s either scooters or regular bikes.
In Artarmon, fellow driving an older Ferrari convertible. Don’t know which model, it had a flat beaver panel with black infill between dual round taillights and a longer name in joined chrome lettering on the lower right of the beaver. Last edited by Citroënbender; 22-02-2024 at 05:34 PM. |
