Historical Holdens!
2007-11-25 06:18:00 Heya all, I know you were probably expecting a post on how the Bicycle Course went yesterday however I saw something today that I wanted to get in first (hence you can expect another post within the next day or two). I was with my folks today at Burwood Shopping Centre in Sydney, we were getting my Christmas present which was some new clothes (as I do need virtually a whole new wardrobe)… anyhoo, as we had finished lunch I spotted in the distance some OLD SCHOOL cars and so we had a look. Here is what we saw: There are some *great* old cars there, one of them looked like a real original (i.e. not at all done up, it was in great condition). I have to admit I loved seeing the puppy dog in the car, that was ultra cuteness at its best. On another note the insides of these cars were REALLY something. The dashboards were so plain in comparison to what you see today., it is no wonder these things will outlast any modern car *hehe*. Well I have to say that I am not a car fana...
