Yeah, but I've got nothing to show for my lifetime of work. A divorce & spending all my money on various girlfriends, means I don't own my own home or have any savings, so I've got no real security -but looking on the bright side, I could keel over tomorrow & it won't be a problem.  I've worked with several guys who've played it safe, saved for rainy days & planned long retirements -then been gone 6 months after they stop working. So I'll live life while I can & try not to worry about tomorrow. -this is all getting a bit morbid in't it. A late day at work today, so all I managed to do was re-fit a powder-coated steel water pipe on the engine ...& scratch it up in the process. Hopefully I can disguise the damage. Whilst I have a fair collection of cars and projects they DO represent every penny I've ever spent on cars over the past 43 years . I've always managed to keep 'project fund' seperate to normal living expenses. Having said that I still have less in all my stuff than many have parked outside on their driveway in their daily:) |

With what I've spent on bikes & cars over the years, I could be driving a Ferrari by now!
YOLO Archie?

Just take life as it comes..my missus and I tend to wing it as much as poss..if we make plans we don't fret if they go wrong ( as if ?  ) in my life iv lost about 50 friends/family..so death doesn't surprise me..one way or another we all seem to make it through..and my passion for hotrods n chops is what's often got me through the sad days..who gives a s**t if you've got a pension or paid for your house or rent..enjoy those days when you can work on your motor..so many don't even have that fire in their belly..us lot on here are so dam lucky and clever.. |

And witty & charming & very, very cool.  Spent the afternoon rubbing down filler on the Pop yet again in the company of Mr Loon, with visits from several mates, including our own Mr Baychimp. Loon's workshop's out in the Hampshire countryside, with views across open fields. Red kites & buzzards circling in clear blue skies, warm sunshine on our backs & Workshop Cat sitting in the shade of the Pop -there are worse ways to while away an Autumn day. |
