bernie hits the nail on the head
last year whie going south the customs guys asked us to pull over
as i exited the van the home land guy says ...
hows this thing treat you regarding the transmission
i smiled as i walked by and said 5 speed ...
not automatic ..
he says really ...
i says the keys are in it ...
have a look around if you have time ...
he says thanks ...
indeed westie lovers are every where
and as the machines age with us ...
the care of them will denote our ability to love them and
just as when you  see a vehicle from the  american iron  of old
indeed any countries iron of old
even a lada ...
we appreciate the style of old... the beauty preserved... the dedication  of
the owner to  take care
every one appreciates but not all can be owners ...
the cops and home land workers who dig westies cannot seem to their co
workers as having a fetish that might make them prefer a certain persons
over another
it is just the way it is ...
till thy retire and if not too damaged from their work then they can indulge
in the desire we now enjoy...
by the way i think the same thing when cruise ships go by as they often do..
i always wave ...
after all htose people behind the camera flash  paid thousands to look at me
...
i should at least wave
and finally for a look at some nice old iron scroll down below my signature
and click on the link to the video page
then look for the thumbnail of a 50 ford custom ...
click and enjoy
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
