They sure were amazing cars back then as were Rolls Royce. Not that they aren't today but back in the day they were majestic beasts!

I've always been a fan of Bentley, they sure make classy vehicles.

That's because they get theirs "adjusted" every 4-6 weeks

My wife would kill me if I even remotely of posting such an old picture. 80s fashion wasn't the best after all.

A very old Caddy, and next to it was a very old Porsche. I took pics of it and will put them up tomorrow, the Porsche that is. A buddy of mine has a large outdoor garage and is letting a guy store them there for a bit.

My neighbour has one these lovely old Mulliner Park Ward convertibles (same as photo). Tough to fit it in our narrow streets. We also have a nice old Alvis nearby. They will live on forever and are probably easy to service vs modern cars. I would love to have an old Bentley TT in the garage, but it just would not get used enough.

You should be lucky that you have so many hair left!
