We just missed the Lonestar Roundup, due to work requirements, but there were still plenty of interesting old cars to look at, a few days later .
I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.
I love your pictures of old cars. My personal taste is restoration rather than customization, but these are still nice. Good work!
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic! You could give Billy Connolly a run for his money with all your current adventures! :)
ReplyDeleteBilly Connolly! I like the man, the old scots curmudgeon... I really liked the movie he made in Australia, 'The Man Who Sued God'.
DeleteAre you familiar with Robbie Coltrane? Another great scottish comedian/actor, and appreciator of rusty old cars.
('Nuns on the Run', he also played Hagrid in the HaRRY pOTTER MOVIES)
oH aRSE! I hate that feckin' caps lock key.
Super! Lovely vehicles.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry: I meant to include a bike or two too.
DeleteI will, soon.
Super cool vehicles! Alas, I have been through Austin many times, but always on the upper deck of I-35.
ReplyDeleteGet off I-35, and visit the city one of these days. It's worth it, Guadelupe, up near the University, for a stroll, music and arts on the street, walk around the state capitol, and muse on the Republic of Texas, then on down the hill and over the river, for the bright splash of eccentricity that is South Congress. So far, we've only seen a tiny bit of Austin.
