I can still remember the smell and although you rarely smell pipes being smoked these days it always takes me straight back to my teenage years.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-63186317347825273832010-02-10T10:15:38.905+00:002010-02-10T10:15:38.905+00:00Lovely motors.

My father loved anything mechanical and I spent most of my childhood trailing round after him, so it just rubbed off like the dirt. The smell of fags combined with sump oil conjures his memory immediately.

I do it, because it's the easiest and quickest way to get to work and back, and because it handy to do my bulky weekend shopping... But that's about it. My friend loves cars and these old vehicules though, and will stop and look everytime one is passing by :).ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-48764310991717005862010-02-08T12:05:52.061+00:002010-02-08T12:05:52.061+00:00Hi Jennifer - (I think I got you correctly sussed)...Hi Jennifer - (I think I got you correctly sussed) - the prospect of owning an old vehicle of some kind if we ever get to spend more time in France is very appealing.
