But we get nice interiors instead of cracked and discoloured dashboards and seats!
As long as the rest of the car doesn't rust away totally....

Must've been a hell of a gun that did that to the trunk lid... The Doctor is right about the interiors in Europe's cars.

Must've been a hell of a gun that did that to the trunk lid Indeed. There's a right ar5ehole I have the misfortune to work with who has some 50's era US pickup with (allegedly) some 45 calibre bullet holes in it (pity he wasn't in it at the time). They're pretty impressive holes but the ones in that trunk... I doubt it was attached to that car when the holes were made... |

Not retro here, still a popular fad. Seems weird when getting real ones doesn't seem to be a problem.  |

Bullet holes..... meh.... In 1976, aged 9, we were visiting friends in Zomba, Malawi. In the university car park I spotted a very battered looking Landrover lwb station wagon. It looked like it had been on its side, but the opposite side had two massive, ragged holes in it. I asked our hosts, who worked at the university, what had happened to it. Oh, that’s John’s, he’s coming to dinner tonight, you can ask him, I was told. Long story short, highly curse word-off bull elephant charged them, tipped them over but fortunately decided not to take things any further. A very scary 5 minutes for the two occupants.....  And a half-day wait for rescue........ with the elephants still around...... Off the scale cool in my 9 year old head, but I’ve always been quite respectful around elephants since then, though don’t come across them all that often these days. Nick |
