Is Memory Lane good for health and wellbeing? I love those old cars too. Maybe it comes under wellbeing.

Gran Torino is a great movie, Milo! I loved it the first time I saw it and again just recently when it was on tv. I'm a great Clint Eastwood fan - especially when he was younger and acted in all those so-called 'spaghetti westerns', e.g. 'A Fistful of Dollars', 'For a Few Dollars More' and 'High Plains Drifter'. Remember them?

Clint Eastwood was gorgeous in Gran Torino - and Million Dollar Baby as well - very sexy man!! Sights like that have to be good for your wellbeing, surely?

We owned a XY 351V8 GS man, 4 speed, factory steel wind back sunroof, Track Red with gold stripes.
Ford built about ten of these as demo models , they were out there before the model was released. The one we had was No2 off the assy line.driven by ford reps.
We had it for 17yrs, sold it for 3 1/3 times what we paid for it. The car is still owned by that same buyer & is here in town in a shed to be restored some day. I had a chat to him only a few months ago.
Trivial to the post milo, just thought I;d throw it in.
