I don't know how you can have coffee and then nap... I'd be bouncing off the walls.

But enjoy your nap and then a nip

[matina]

John and Katy and matina . . . this is the model (4WD) that I was driving for more than two weeks in the US. I felt like I could drive anywhere and was very, very safe on the road. It was actually the 'small truck' (as they called it) leased by my sister-in-law. (I never did drive any of my brother's 'big trucks' during my stay . . . )

Katy, wishing you a good evening and a good night.

matina, keep us posted on your recovery. So sorry that it's so hot in Adelaide. This is one of the reasons I retired to the mountains. I was finding Sydney just too hot as the years went by. And it's also why I won't be visiting my grandchildren in QLD during Christmas . . .

Now THAT IS A VEHICLE!

I drive this...


And I feel plenty safe in it

[matina]

PJ nice car they dont have them here but i do like it sturdy and safe;-)
JG yours is nice too

The last two cars I've owned have been Subaru Foresters, which are of course AWDs.

The Ford F 150s are common in the US and a good 'snow vehicle' too. Lots of people use them in the rural areas of Maine. The one I drove had an automatic transmission, with both high and low 4WD. Together with the power steering, it was easy to handle. I have a NSW 'Heavy Vehicle Driver's Licence' so am fairly familiar with driving large vehicles, but I took it very easy while driving in the US.

hello everyone

woke up early today, finally accomplished the chores that wouldn't be accomplished last week. VICTORY

I like classic cars and small cars.
this summer I'm definitely going to learn to drive

[pjmpjm]

bomb, here's a photo of my brother, taken three years ago, when he found a restored vintage car that was the same make and model of my very first automobile . . . a 1955 Ford Fairlane with a 272 cubic inch V8 engine. A few months ago I checked and discovered, to my horror, that I've held a driver's licence for more than 53 years . . . Hmmmm.

EDIT: Note his wife's truck in the right background. She leases a new one every two years.

[matina]

[pjmpjm]

Hi everyone, especially matina and Alessa and Katy! Am now back from all my various errands, which included picking up specialised cat food (for Cosmo's renal diet, which helps him a lot).

Very few posts at TFWBL lately . . . this morning I couldn't post at all because (after 13 hours) no-one else had stopped by!

Here's a shot of nearby Echo Point . . . which I passed briefly an hour ago . . . So many tourists there! Luckily, I found a parking spot.

[Alessa9]

Hello & Good morning/evening!

Nice shot, pjm

matina, hope you’re less sore after the nap.

[matina]

hi alessa how are you? miss you.

[Alessa9]

Hi, matina! Miss you too. How are you feeling? Hope the nap helped.
I’m Ok, had a good night’s sleep for a change as I was feeling very tired last night. Probably due to the cold meds.
It’s 17C right now and I wish I could send you our cool weather. Hang in there & drink lots of iced water.
