When was your birthday again?

(One paraibo tourmaline. And look for a pretty setting. )

 

What a color! Yum!

 

I suppose we could all chip in?

Nine days. Not much hope - the fun part is finding one in the first place.(sigh) The last time I saw one was in the diamond case in a Tiffany's mall store. Didn't ask the price.

 

only if u pick me up.... one of these...

 

Clearly a case of if you have to ask you can not afford.

 

Oolala a 70s Jensen Intraceptor. Be still my heart. i wouldn’t turn it down but my fantasy would be a 56-58 Dual Ghia or a 57/58 Cadillac Biarritz convertible.

 

LOVE...maybe my 3rd choice...

 

My teenaged dream car was a WWII surplus JEEP. I was a weird kid, but I didn't want to go fast; I just didn't want to get stuck somewhere.

 

Not my fantasy.....just a birthday gift !!

 

I’m over “dream cars”. Too much a pain for upkeep. I played that game all through the 80s but my fave was a pristine red on red 62 vette in 85. Should have kept that one. And my TR3...

 

the Stingray sounds nice...!!

 

It wasn’t a stingray. It was the last corvette IMO. The 63 was the first stingray with the split back window. Not my thing. My car was gorgeous.

 

sorry....my bad !

 

LOL but I never liked Stingrays and I loved early Corvettes.When I first got it in the 80s we had a date to go dancing with two new “friends”-they were pretty grand and name droppers. I told them we’d meet them there as our car was a Corvette so we couldn’t pick them up. They were duly unimpressed as they assumed a Stingray too which they didn’t like either. We pulled up and the whole crowd outside went nuts. It really was a gorgeous machine. Wish I still had it. They still talk about it and yes we’re still friends.

 

BTW forgot to mention that we actually saw a gray Jensen today. Funny as I haven’t noticed one in a long time but I know they’re out there.
