My sister....

Went out and bought herself a car, nice VW Golf with scruffy beat up alloy wheels. Then all on her own ordered these wheels (pictured). I think she did pretty well. She's a young 76 y.o. BTW.

I told her how good the rims looked "I thought you'd like them" (She's my fav sib)

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Glad to hear your sister is still young!

Sweet... And let's be honest. Do you really need anything better than a Golf?

And your sister is the same age as my mum.

Did somebody say Detroit Wheels? Sounds like a party.

Turn it up.

Alright... is everybody ready?

Sorry about all the gratuitous flesh... that was the only video of that song that had decent sound... all the others had no bottom.

No, that's not a pun... "lousy bass" if I have to spell it out.

yperil, your sister is too cool... ask her if she'll let you shoot a video of her screaming that thing around a long sweeper.

Surely you don't expect me to submit my saintly sister Sara into the paws of the Pelican Porsche poonhound parade, do you?

You'll have to make do with these two reasonable facsimiles, one middle age and one advanced although "still looking good"

I didn't, hope you got her permission before posting?

She look lovely

As per Heel n Toe suggestion, we need to see her in action... as in, her screaming that thing around a long sweeper.

Dennis,

Good on your sister for the Golf and wheels.
On the other hand, I don't think you're good looking enough to rate Susan Sarandon and Sophia Lauren as sisters!
