You know you're getting old when you hear the kids talking about "oldies acts -- like you know, Lady Ga Ga."
No lie. People do not believe me when I tell them that I actually sat at one of these desks when I was a kid in school!
I remember those desks.
You know you are getting old when you can remember when General Motors made great cars.
You are really getting old when you can remember when England made great cars.
That time existed?!
Everything is relative. There was nothing better to compete with.
They made some pretty good cars in the fifties . You may have heard of the Austin Healey 100, Triumph TR3, MG TD, Jaguar XK120 and Bentley Continental but they made other kinds of cars too.That has been a while.

As a friend of mine said: "You're getting old if you remember what those holes in the desks were for, and actually had to use them!"

In the sixties Austin had a full line of front wheel drive sedans before Honda made a car. Standard Triumph's Vanguard could have been the English Volvo. Rover and Humber had the "gentlemen's club" interior down pat, all leather, polished wood and black faced gauges like a Rolls in a smaller package. Jaguar, Bentley and Rolls Royce need no introduction.
They threw all that away years ago. Gone but not forgotten, we mourn our loss. Those of us old enough to remember.

MGTD reliable? Maybe you are thinking of the TF?
Where do you see the word reliable?MGTD reliable? Maybe you are thinking of the TF?
Even the early 90s Jags had a wiring mess.[/SIZE]A friend of mine was trying to chase down why the trunk wouldn’t open but he found he had to go through four fuse boxes to find the right one to replace. The fuse for it was in the trunk that wouldn't open. lol lol[/FONT][/COLOR]
I remember those too well. :doh:
