Ruby Tuesday - The Red Chevy

 

A grand ole classic
I was meeting friends in town recently one Saturday when I espied this beautiful old car. Gleaming red paint work, original tyres the chrome like a shining beacon and best of all - there were three of them. The male members of the wedding party were in tow but the bride I couldn't see. There's something about a red car - sexy and it turns heads.

A Real Classic

Boop-Oop-A-Doop
The companion to yesterday's Caddy - she's called Betty Boop and was parked behind "Lady Luck" - you can see the same building (Hargreaves Hill Brewing Co) in both photos.
This one was the lady's and there's a fur stole hanging out the window.

If you want to see
Just a perfect little she,
Wait 'til you, get a view of Sweet Betty!

There's the moon, 'way up high,
Here are you and here am I,
Oh, do, do, do, something!
Boop-oop-a-doop!

The Roadster

Your Limousine Awaits
Imagine tootling along country roads in this beautiful old Caddy, and stopping at some shady spot near a lake and sipping champagne...Ah this is the stuff dreams are made off!

Called "Lady Luck", and one of a pair, she was the envy of many an eye.

The first car I drove (after obtaining my licence) was a red car - but my car was not a "she". It was a genteman car which I called Rufus. A Datsun 1000 - 4 on the floor, no air con, 2 door, and it only cost $2 a week to fill the petrol tank. Petrol was only 20 cents a gallon. How times - and prices - have changed. If you buy a car, get a red one. Red always goes faster!

Today's Quote: It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road.

Is It Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

"If you can dream it, you can do it" - Enzo Ferrari

Five Red Ferraris driving down the main street made for a glorious sight - is Ferris Bueller having another day off?

And remember boys, if you drive a Ferrari, always choose a red one - because red always goes faster!

Graffiti On Wheels

This Holden is often seen on our local streets and I've always been rather fascinated by the "Artwork". When taking these photos last week, two gentlemen sitting on a seat informed I was the second person that day taking photos.

One of the old gentlemen added the owner was an "eccentric."
