They said he was on his was home from a car club meeting… just hit a surprise dump of rain and oops! He’d be feeling it as a good genuine HQ Monaro coupe is upwards of AU$100k, maybe over AU$200k depending on spec and condition.
When I was first driving I could have got a rough one for around AU$2000… A nearish neighbour got a “Jamaica Lime” coloured coupe in the early 80s.

Midstrength beer has become very popular as the drink driving laws are strict.

That's a pretty nice bottle of rye, kind of a pleasant surprise it was a Christmas gift very tasty. Makes a splendid Manhattan! There's a brand called Koval from Chicago that I just love, kind of hard to find on store shelves but well worth the effort.
Not advisable to enjoy while attempting to build model trains, or play the bass, bad results follow! 😺

That house has been there for as long as I can remember (mid 1970’s when I first saw it), and it’s always looked like this, never better, never worse.
If nothing else, there’s some fully seasoned wood there for some nice Tbird builds.

I can’t talk to that :D :D

Yeah same, the millennials don’t drink, or not yet anyway.
I have 4 kids, no 1 drinks very lightly as does her hubby. No’s 2, 3 & 4 don’t drink at all. I drink but not much - a glass of red with dinner and maybe a couple :D on a Friday and Saturday. But much less than 30 & 40 years ago.
