A wise man picks sins they don't arrest you for.  ;)

I agree. And when you word it like that, it almost makes it sound a noble pursuit. ;D

Posting photos of cars is usually not my bag at all. 




I know that age is just a number and all that, but I feel I'm too old for this sort of thing now.

I had a red Alpha Romeo at one point (1975-77), although not a GT Veloce (unfortunately) but still a cool automobile. Fun to drive.

Completely unrelated to cars, but in that photo you're almost a twin of my roommate from senior year college (about four years after the date of that photo, so you can figure out the age difference on your own). Or would be, only he's never worn a uniform in his life.

Yeah, you're right, Jeffrey.
It's up for auction, appears well maintained and it's RHD - so as a precaution I've removed the search and site from my browser history. ;D But...

That happens often to me, people telling me I look like someone they know or knew. Apparently I have quite a few doppelgängers...hopefully not of the Twin Peaks' variety  ???  ;D

Isn't that the painting in which Wagner said that he looked like a Protestant priest?
"Javert, though frightful, had nothing ignoble about him. Probity, sincerity, candor, conviction, the sense of duty, are things which may become hideous when wrongly directed; but which, even when hideous, remain grand."
