    @Marko

    Your car looks very similar to a Vauxhall Insignia used in Europe and the UK apart from the grill badge, then I realised Vauxhall is owned by GM so its probably the same platform.

    The last Vauxhall (GM) car I drove was this baby, a 24 valve 3 litre Senator.:D many years ago. (29)

    No it was someone behind her.

    It was in a wine cellar underneath a stately home.
    Everyone was rich and famous except me and the girl I was with, :hilarious:

    Joan Collins and Wham were there too amongst others

    It has their marks on the little fiddly bits at the ends of the strings. And full British hallmarks that you need a 40x loupe to read. I don't see some nimwit faking those.

    A few of my recent finds. I overpaid a bit for the whiskey advertising tip tray when taking condition into consideration but it looks great in my small collection of Brewery/Alcohol related collectables. The Rookwood pieces are newer pieces made in 1988, the Arthur Townley era before Rookwood's more recent 2006 re-opening and resurgence. The jardinière is Brush Pottery and I was drawn to the vivid colors and according to the previous owner's notes it is from 1928.

    Wow Davey, thanks for that information!!! I am loving the new car. I just take her out to drive around, although she always ends up at an antique mall or a thrift shop. I really loved the Dodge Chargers, too, but they were a bit too sporty for me. Many police departments here use the Dodge Chargers, but in the past, they did use Impalas.

    Did we figure out who that actress is? Judy Carne with long hair?
