i live in a society where bragging about wealth is not done by the people who really made it. The show-off cars are for nouveaux riche. There's a saying among really wealthy gus :to live happily you gotta live hidden.How come i actually know that ? i wouldnt mind a Jay Leno style warehouse with a nice collection,though
@mytdawg: that would take you back to 1840...2 ton steam engine and no breaks. the sex was safe,i guess... but you probably meant 1969 ,didn't you? :-)
@Mike the Dog: do you read minds ,or what? i was just about to post a link... here's the site from the dutch javelin-friend-thingie ( not really a club) [www.amcjavelin.nl] go to pictures & movies/AMC owners,then scroll down to 'foreign Javelin owners' it's the red body /white top. in the background you can see my beater 1988 Suzuki Swift..
@Mike the Dog: why Mike,i thought you hadn't read my NY's automotive resolution. so i went back and turned out you did :-) Did i miss a clickbox somewhere,or how can i get notified if someone replies on a comment?
vw-borghini : where sad and pathetic take on a new level. Oh no wait; it's art! From the country that gave the world surrealism : ceci n'est pas une lamborghini. But being from Flanders : i must point out that the vw-borghini is from the french-speaking part :-) Divide this country now.
@Murilee Martin: hey thanks for the info. i'm not commenting very often,since my english is not sufficient to be very witty. i just want you to say i really love DOTS.it's what keeps me coming to Jalopnik. Is the Alameda-cool-car-well ever going to dry up? cheers and a happy new year.
@Mike the Dog: yeah,Ghent is a great little city. if you're planning to come and visit,you mail me. Cuz,if you're into beer..there's a couple of beers i could introduce you to :-)
@Mike the Dog: thanks! the way you spell them out phonetically makes them sound like a southerner would say it? i live just south of the city of Gent. like 40 miles east from Brussels
