Question for John Hall

It's the most beautiful Volkswagen paint job you ever saw! Almost as good as a '64 1500...

BTW, the Bentley Azure is now history. So your longstanding dream of owning an Azureglo Azure can no longer be realized.

Sniff.

Sir can have his Bentley any damn colour he wants to...and that's the way it should be imo!!
The new Lamborghini line is obviously impressive as usual, but I'd walk past them all for an early 70's Miura SV in lime green or orange.
Now we are talking design...

...and you'd walk a darn sight further, too, once the Miura broke down. The Murcs and Gals would blast by your Miura with a pleasant tootle on their FIAMMs.

I have two friends who are Miura owners. Neither drives his much because of too many problems with reliability. The build quality is atrocious--it's a "Tony Tinsnips" kind of car. And if Rosa in accounting was wearing tight Eyetalian Capri pants the day your Miura was being wired, your alternator would have been wired backwards, too.

I,d take my chances Paul, and with any luck Rosa,s daughter who looks like Monica Bellucci would be my passenger to ease me through the wait for AAA

I can tell you've never lived it, Wints...

Looks great through those Rosa-colored glasses, but her daughter wants a bloke whose (red) car starts and runs.

All she'd do is berate you and leave you to wait for AAA alone.

(Don't ask how I know. OK, let's just say I've taken a survey...)

Hmmmmm.... Lambos, Porsches, Bentleys and Maybachs (why would you bother???) in The Ric Forum!

What autos would come up in the F****r or other forums?

With my luck, Andrew, Rosa's daughter would look more like John Belushi!!

Paul, never lived it? Well, I did have a 15 year period with exclusive Jaguar and Triumph ownership, sometimes both at the same time.
AA membership was essential and I,ve been by the side of the road a few times. The Triumph's were the main culprits...
Never, ever short of company for journeys tho'....

Howard, too funny, hey, I love Jonn Belushi too!

I once had a Triumph Trident - never missed a beat! Then again, it was a bike!!

Well, guys--we seem to have gotten off-thread by a good amount here...Wints! I said "exotic". Jags and Triumphs hardly qualify, or was that (were those?) Jag (s) C or D type(s)?

Wow. Punctuation-twister.

Anyway, Ms. Belucci lookalikes would generally think these too workaday, preferring something like a Lambo or Bentley. IME, a woman's temperament becomes more fiery and...er...difficult to deal with in geometric proportion to her own exoticism of appearance.

Dangerous ground, here. I'm gonna stop. Gentlemen, my Toyota awaits! (At least until the Saab comes out of the shop!)

Howard, there was a thread about Ferraris on the F****r Forum not too long ago. I remember 'cause I was a participant. Or maybe it was on Gretschpages...

A Triumph Trident (bike). That is pretty exotic for an old 'un. The bike, Howard, not you! The extra cylinder was a support system for the other two. That's why it never missed a beat!

I have always thought that three heads are better than two (unless you've had one surgically removed!!)

"IME, a woman's temperament becomes more fiery and...er...difficult to deal with in geometric proportion to her own exoticism of appearance"

Quite possibly Paul, but I guess you've never seen my guitar stand....

Pictures, Wints?

wints · Post by **wints** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 8:44 am

Afraid not Paul, the pristine 71 model in silver bikini with matching 6 inch heels looking after my 68 4001 was deemed a little too much for the site originally and I've promised not to be a bad boy again....

Ahh yes...I still have that get well card saved, Andy!! Sweeeet.

I have seen the picture to which Andrew refers!
I still don't know which was better looking, the girl or the bass!!
