My next door neighbour bought a Morris 8 and took me out for a ride in
it. I loved the smell of the leather. I was 16.

Which reminds me of the old question, why does a woman wearing leather
clothes excite men so much? It's because she smells like a new car.

Most new cars smell of adhesive to me. Whatever turns you on.

It seems today
that all you see
is violence in movies and sex on t.v.

But where are those good old fashion values
On which we used to rely!

Lucky, there's a family guy!
Lucky there's a man who,
positivly can do,
all the things that make us
laugh and cry!

He's--A--Fam'ly--Guy!!!

Around 1963, I was a teenager hitch-hiking, and an elderly gent in an
old Aston Martin DB 2 gave me a lift. This elderly gent was so
doddery that he seemed to be barely in control of the car and I was
fearful for my life for the whole ride. But his enthusiasm and what
he told me about the car is probably what started me off.
