Ah, those lovely English girls!

could be wrong but doubt they were assembling in Uruguay.....btw, CONGRATS GRAMPS!

Me too.

I like their Griffin logo. BTW I think the sold a (very) few in the US maybe but in Canada under a different name. Was it Ascot?

The Opel went to Buick dealers and some Vauxhalls to Pontiac dealers. I think, don’t put money on it though.

you forgot “sunburst” FSO…

…or white, or… well, maybe that’s it.

As at 4:39am on Thursday 1st Feb 2024 my wife and became grandparents for the first time.
A Grandson - Edward.
It was a bit of an ordeal, but I’ll recover eventually.

I’m as Proud as Punch.

Congrats Mate!
I did the grand parent thing 25 years ago, heck I even did the great grandparent thing about 5 years ago. And I’m only 66.

That’s the Holy Trinity right?

Amen!
I maxed out the Sex and Drugs and Rock-n-Roll trinity early in life so I had to add the other three to the addiction.

Congrats! Edward is a fine name. (my middle name)

Must be some kind of record for this thread, no posts from 6:51 last night until 7am today? I thought the site was broken.

How do you know it wasn't?

Red and gold is my favorite Firebird VII color scheme (though most of what Gibson did with FB Viis was gorgeous), but I think this is my new second favorite. Wow!

Great Pics! that second one is the one that made me think you were sponsored by GK..

It definitely looks like a pic for an ad in Guitar Player!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Which would have been cool.....Up until I discovered SWR cabinets, they're way 'mo better!

Divey bar in Pt Angeles...

Hole. E. Smokes!

Uruguay. According to a friend who was in the Peace Corps in Paraguay, Uruguay is the Better-Guay.

My friends who lived in Paraguay for years would differ... but what the heck - I want to visit them all!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

indeed, my home scope is just old and cheap/limited.....

Chucky's keeping it psychedelic!

Strapping basses to the undercarriage for relicing?

My family lived in both before coming to Canada (where I was born).

Glancing at this, I thought it was answering the "women's clothes or electric trains?" question.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Too many strings, but purdy!

I should have known someone beat me to it!

 

[Engle]

yes, your resemblance to Ludendorff is uncanny….

Ha! I come from a long line of Pacifists. Is there a theory that Ludendorff went to South America?

My Mother never wanted to go back to either.

 

[TBird1958]

That’s the Holy Trinity right?

Thunderbirds, HO Scale Electric trains, women's clothing ( I dabble in alcohol occasionally as well) , repeat after me

Combining all three would cause me to explode...

 

[RedVee]

Speaking of which, Torted!
There’s a rule I have that states;
Thou shall have at least one bass with tort.

View attachment 5336309

I don’t know that rule

Tort on a FSO looks perfectly normal to me.

I had sunglasses with tort frames that I liked. Unfortunately sunglasses are a bad investment for me. I leave them in airports, hotels, anywhere… or sit on them.

 

[TBird1958]

Torty..........
