As old as me, Clem, not as old as you!
Are you ready for your tea, Dear?

Guy at work rides this Harley.
Had to look twice to identify the Harley logo.
He's a big dog fan and modded the passenger seat for his pet.
I showed the pics to a fellow Laverdisti who called it Hundy Davidson

It’s a life boat!

I was looking through my older pictures and I don’t recall posting this custom. I think it’s a Pontiac and it is a four door. It might even have suicide doors! It’s hard to tell, but the position of the lock buttons on the doors leads me to think so.

October 1954.... am i the younger man? Did my days as "collection" boy ( about 8 yo ) in an Austin ute, with wooden tray flairs, sitting on top of all the rag bags we collected from the suburbs, my mother thought our grandfather was at home with us when she was at work, three boys actually sat on top of the bags and over the top of the side rails...as he drove around.

This went on every school holidays, collected bottles for the local yard, then down to the tip for scrap metal and then onto the scrap metal yard, he used to use the garage fibro walls as note paper when weighing the metal before going to the scrap yard dealer. All walls covered in chalk calculations. Pound note rolls 4 inches in diameter was a memory, we got a pie each for lunch, if lucky. He was gassed in the first world war, even that did not slow him down, no wonder free slave grand kids were a goldmine in the waiting.... relevance? Cars can remind us of a period more than lesser recalls, j

I'm pretty sure it's a '57 Oldsmobile 88 wagon. Our neighbor had one.

This is a Lotus! Colin Chapman must be spinning in his grave, will it do for them what the Cayenne and Macan did for Porsche?

We were in a high end mall today and this was in the atrium:

Is this Elmo’s new sub-25,000$ car?

 

[GregT]

It's a Proton Wira. And someone's gone to a fair bit of trouble to disguise it. ID credit goes to a bloke on a kiwi forum.

Just a few bikes (63) out for this afternoon’s VMCC ride from the TT Grandstand, via the south of the island to Peel. A sunny start in Douglas but it clouded over a bit by the time we got to Peel, then brightened up again later on. Still a bit chilly though and a few complaints about cold hands from choosing the wrong gloves.
An extra point for identifying the model of Suzuki in the second photo.

Here’s a 1989 Carrera 4 that been in a tent for years- I’ve got to get it going and sell it for my friend.

 

[GregT]

I suspect the Suzuki started out as a DR650SE
