They owned the land but had some of it turned in a Nat'l Park when the gov't wanted to put a road through it, as that part was where their ancestors were buried.Quote:

Not me! I think my first wife was secretly in love with Paul Cronin ( turned out she wasn't in love with me...[bigsad][bigsmile] ) as The Sullivans was an almost religious experience for her. She made me drive around Camberwell/Canterbury seeking out the house...Quote:

To me he said " C'mon sonny, I'll bet you don't know what this one is". Seems that I looked at him with scorn and said "Course I do, it's a Daimbler". Knew what it was but didn't know how to say it. Poor bloke... mum never let on that we had an MG Y at home and a Daim(b)ler DB 18 parked nearby. Her mates had Rileys and Rovers.
There weren't that many cars around back then. But I remained fascinated with them until they all became clones of one another.
This mob were builders.. No, I don't mean they had calloused hands and a pencil in their bib pocket. I mean they "invested" in bits of land and threw up 20 story office buildings around the CBD.Quote:

Had a 1300 Beetle for a few months. It seized on the old motorway to Penrith. Well, I didn't know you needed those silly cardboard tubes to keep the ridiculous thing cool, did I? Just after I'd had the joy of replacing the accelerator cable too... Got rid of it and bought my first FIAT. [bigwhistle][bigsad]Quote:

We should all just get modern range rovers .... then everything else will seem simple. Anyone for lifting the body off to do some routine maintenance ? [bigrolf][bighmmm]
Can't see too many of the new ones being mucked around on in some shed somewhere in 40 years. We're not supposed to have fun.... Err...Quote:
