Or a fine old time sports roadster, even an inexpensive one like  MG, Datsun Fairlady, Triumph, or an Austin Healy.

 

I so miss those kinds of cars.

 

My first car, a 1972 Ford Cortina Ghia -

My first car(and the first of 3 MGAs), was a 1960 1500cc, followed by a Twin Cam that was fast but terribly unreliable, and the a 1600cc that just "didn't fit my pistol".

 

After that I just went through sports cars, mostly 2 seat roadsters, like sh--through a goose.  I threw in a couple of coupes for variety, but all of them had some amount of leather in the interiors, usually at least the seats.

 

 

The last was a 1968 Datsun Fairlady 1600 that was upgraded in almost every respect BUT STILL HAD LEATHER SEATS and other interior parts.

 

I sold it in 1979 when I left the Marines.

Never played Aussie Rules, but played Soccer all through HS and College.  Long ago, and there weren't any fake / penalty injuries. Had an Israeli foreign student in our College club,  He had a cast on his left forearm - had broken a bone at some point.  He was enraged that it "threw him off balance".  He broke his cast on a post for the field lights, stripped off the remains and happily played the rest of the game.  A different era.

This town in Austria changed its name (and streets) in '21:

 

 

Tourists were making too many crude jokes about the previous name, a name which can not be written on this forum.

Yass is a beautiful town in the Southern Highlands, not too far inland from where we live. 

It has a McDonalds that opens at 6.00am

I imagine that after sitting in the sun like that on a 42*C day, you would leave some lovely grill marks on your bum.
