1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

When I was a kid there was a family who lived down the road that had a Morris Minor Pickup and Sedan.

It appeared they bought them new. They must have worked downtown near a dealer and liked them. It just didn't square why these people had a pair of Morris minors.

But then we had another family with a collection of Renault Daupiines that I could tell about. I can kind of square those since the dad was a millwright that moved down from somewhere like Lowell Massachusetts.

 

Apparently fewer than 1 of every 100 are Mini pickups and not easy to find.
The Renaults are good looking too. Its great that random folks on your street had interesting cars at least

 

One of my friends dads had an older MB 190sl -- though it was said to have been severely rusted out underneath. He also had a Ford Cortina. They had like 4 or 5 kids. The mom drove a 1964 Buick Electra. They packed all the kids into the Buick



The dad's daily driver was a Ford Cortina. I could understand the MB190 sl. I could never understand the Ford Cortina. I just remember he was in IT way back in the early days.

 

Also we're approaching 20k pages of this shit...

Probably already surpassed it if you consider the deleted posts/pages

 

This shit, is your shit


OP

 

Well this is the cheaper way for me to leave a mark on this world. You chose hard mode

Nope, no way

 

I think I grew up around a bunch of eccentric people. Looking back a number had been living on the west coast and east coast and moved back after a stint in the military or defense work. They weren't necessarily wealthy -- just eccentric.

Same name different person I think. Good catch !
