No wise words here.

The 2011 Shannons Eastern Creek Day was another success with around 2000 classic cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles and more. I often walk around these shows enjoying the various car designs mainly for their looks both exterior and interior rather than the mechanical design. Owning Citroens has biased me on mechanical design, slightly!
This Ramble caugh my attention partly because a friend at schools dad had one but also for the "Salmon" roof colour which was also on the wheels. While looking the cars owner asked 'why are you looking at this piece of shit?", well the salmon roof caught my attention. "Oh" was part of the reply. Now the owner and I then had a great discussion about the car and it was great to hear he had several other Ramblers and he thought they were all rubbish. Bad suspension, slow, bad all wheel drum brakes and the list went on. It was refreshing to hear classic car enthusiast aknowledge many classics as beautiful as they look are only that, beautiful to look at and generally hideous to drive.
