[QUOTE="Harry Haller, post: 203607, member: 14641"] I worked late yesterday, my christian friend wandered in, he looked tired, I looked tired, so I asked him about homosexuality, his eyes blazed, what followed was a ten minute sermon about homosexuality complete with face grimacing, windmill arms, the full works, I remarked that my dear wife had invited my stepsons best friend to live with us when he was homeless for 6 months, and he was a homosexual. Although to be fair, he was not a real homosexual, my stepson put off telling me to last, as he was fully aware I would be fascinated, and grill his friend on all aspects. I tried to convince his friend he should be embracing all aspects of the culture, but all he wanted to do was go to college and fall in love with someone special, kids today, they dont know what living is! Anyway, my friend asked me if it was hard having him live there, Oh yes I said, and he brightened, he kept squeezing loads out of the toothpaste, and he insisted on eating and talking with me when I was reading, uhm that was it. I decided to go home to my ill wife. I found wife in bed coughing away with both the dogs, James Bond was on, Pierce Brosnan, I hate Pierce as Bond, it has to be Roger Moore for me, his eyebrows could have had their own series, and Kabir Bedi made a fantastic sardar baddie, however, I suffered the film as my wife was ill, I was just nodding off when, I caught sight of one of my all time best cars, the BMW 1994 750i V12 E38, and then, loads more cars from that era, I sat up as the E38 was chased by a 1992 Mercedes S class W126 (post 1989, as there was no slats on the side plastics, yes I am a sad sad sad man), both cars are absolutely beautiful classics but so different in personality and drive, I never could understand why people would just but the car du jour, without any appreciation of the history or the engineering of the car, it makes me look rich, so I will buy it seems to be the mantra, which is such a shame, as these cars from that era were an engineering excellence with a proud pedigree of being completely bombproof.
