1904 that is.. The next time you find it hard to get parts for your car think of this. This car is a 1904 Minerva. There are 5 left in the world. This one was driven till 1917 and then put in storage. It was shoved into a field in the 50s, the current owner got it as a basket case in 1982. It took him 22 years to find an engine for it!! Its now in perfect working order

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

Sad to see that bling accesorries and gold detailing was as rife 100 years ago as it is today, not only the premise of the Lexus Massive.

Ha ha! I guess Mr Sprite had a bad day at work on Thursday, missed the ironic tone in my typing. Perhaps we should have an ironic button next to Bold or Italic?

Lovin' the gansgta one! ;D ;D ;D ;D How about we put anything ironic or overly clever in italics? If you're all anything like me when you come home after a long day the last thing you want is more thinking! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
