Reminders you're getting old

At my age a recipe for disaster. She who must be obeyed would kill me. Probably with the cloth she cleaned the mess up with.

If you had a BMW 2002 in 1975-ish, I can tell you that a clutch replacement ran to 6 hours labour at $6 per hour per the chamber of commerce flat rates.

True.

Meanwhile, in 1980 an unexpected side effect of higher prices and those pesky metric quantities took down most of Shell’s petrol Bowser’s as the mechanical rates linkages couldn’t cope. :rofl:

My only real memories of that era was of pinching grandpa’s morning tea and being mesmerised by the float balls in the Bowser flow windows .

That’s a strange way to say “Subaru Forrester”

There’s a part of me that genuinely believes I could still play Horsham District League Reserves footy (against freakishly tall 17 year-olds that do backflips for fun).
And be okay at it. Not stellar. But okay.

Despite the fact that I can’t bend over real good.
