May 22nd, 2018: Royal Wedding
Oh my, a Royal Wedding, just thinking about it makes me so giddy I could puke. :vomit:
The saving grace was the getaway car, a 1968 type E Jaguar which is one of the most beautiful cars ever built. It’s LEFT hand drive as a civilized car should be, but probably powered by British coal, as the blue color isn’t the only thing electric. http://cellar.org/2017/HarryJag1.jpg Quote:

Electric, bride and blue. ;)

A British electrical system?
Pass. |
The electrics are from an unnamed technical partner so not necessarily British.
My objection is it will go zoom zoom, but not varoom varoom. The auditory is a large part of the experience. |

Although there's something to be said for going fast really quietly. The Parentsdigr once had a 97 Le Sabre, that thing went like stink and barely made a sound. |

Attachment 63824 That was my Avis rental car for the duration of my first visit to the US in 1999. I'd booked something rather more modest, but when I arrived in Denver I was offered a deal whereby I paid a one grade increase for a two grades up car. On reflection, I suppose that meant they didn't have a car in the size I'd booked so a carrot was dangled in the form of the big Buick. Heavens knows how much more unnecessary expense I 'volunteered' for! However, it was comfortable, roomy and so new that it still had a temporary plate in the form of a sheet of paper taped in the rear window. Memory has faded somewhat, but I think that photo was taken somewhere in SD. I could probably narrow it down a bit given time, but it's late here. |
I sent my folks to Hawaii as a Christmas gift. They had been there several times so knew where they wanted to go and what to do. They reserved a compact rental car but on arrival were offered a Caddy convertible for the same price. Pop said hell yeah but after one day and a couple of close calls returned that monster for a compact. :haha:

Having had time to delve, I'm pretty sure that location is the Meriden rest area on US 85 in Wyoming, about forty five miles north east of Cheyenne. |
Despite the lack of vroom noises I love the idea of rescuing beautiful old car designs by marrying them to modern power plants.
|
I had a '99 Le Sabre I loved that car.

Yes just like that.
