The two posts above are delightfully witty, not mean, at all……

Usually our resident Brit Two Bills takes the prize with me, but this time, I dare say village dreamer’s allusion to that classic ad for mustard can’t be topped.

Those who drive attention-getting cars expect comments and might even appreciate the good-natured humor as intended.

I love seeing a head-turning car. The closest I ever got to owning one was in the 70s with my second-hand Triumph GT6. I sure looked good driving that car. (Well…..looking back, I guess I looked good no matter where I was in the 70s (sigh)) …..

I loved that car…….even though somebody said I better get ready to put out for a Leyland Motors mechanic. I just smiled at that one. Did not take offense.

Those were the days when sports car drivers waved to each other on the road. There was a hierarchy involved though…..The driver of the less expensive car had to wave first. I had to wave first to a lot of Porsches and Jags……..But I digress — so, anyway…..

I still look at beautiful and classic cars, although now I drive around in an ordinary Accord.

I hope our OP finds his fellow enthusiasts in TV.
