No Oppo Supporters The TAN 83 - yank politics and brand names with a dash of groupthink

[DickieKnee]

My Greek mates old man had a HQ Premier. Brown with a tan vinyl roof and venetian blinds on the back window. Typical wog lol.

When I was a kid we played kick to kick in the street in footy season and cricket in the summer. All the kids in the street would play it. You never see it anymore. I haven't seen it for years. Used to have massive water fights on hot days too.

Kids aren’t really allowed to go outside without supervision now though, otherwise they would.

You never see kids walking or riding their bike to school today. They all get driven.

Kids today get driven everywhere then they grow up and blame gen X for climate change.

Cressida was the ultimate Grandparents car. Don’t think anyone under 60 ever owned one until they got cool and people started doing them up

It is safer now and there is stats to back it.

Just we have easier access to all the bad stories now so people are more paranoid.

Cars were designed, drawn by hand, that is why the aesthetic is better.
Like the superleggera for Aston Martin.
Design classics.
