Touring on a nice spring day, Part 2 where I started

With my sweetie. My favorite thing to do.


Mrs Peril and me., my old car is 150 metric years old and I'm very nearly 125 metric yrs old
as you know everything up here is metric


Back home, there's a P car in there somewhere.

Great fun to tool around in a classic car like that enjoying the day. Bet you're happy Spring is here.

Hard to not enjoy a nice springtime drive with good company.

A little more touring today,

Went back to the village where I'm "from", the blue house is where we lived until
I was about 13 yo. We moved to the yellow house where my parents opened a
restaurant and pool hall, (pool hall in the back, 3 tables) What fun we had there,
can you imagine how much fun we had there!

Next door to us (seems so close now) is the church where we didn't attend on Sunday. We mostly attended the pool hall, and so did the congregation next door.

Oh, and check out that wood pile house.





Here's the wood pile:

A little more

We had a Wurlitzer (spelling??) jukebox and I remember some of the songs especially
"Hey you, get off my cloud" And "Can't get no satisfaction" by a band called the rolling stones. They're probably long gone. It was a long time ago.

I had fun today, but god I feel old.

Love, love, love that car!

Went to a retirement class here at work and I have to hang in there 1.5 to 2 years to get maximum benefits.

At that point my evil plan is to dump the Versa and get a sports car/sedan.

However if an cool old hot rod like that crosses my path I just might jump on it.

Looks like spring has sprung up there. How much has your "village" changed over the years.

What a cool cruiser, are those cragars?

Not cragars. American mags Torque Thrust "D"'s (Curved for disc brakes) And my old home town has changed quite a bit, but the same core of bldgs are all still there. BTW this is the car we do all our touring in. It's great fun to drive, reliable 150%, and oddly enough weighs 110 lbs less than my 993.
