Today early a road crew were outside my house painting up the road for works.

I reverse out and drive past a guy, chat to him about the day and what they were doing, another guy runs up and joins the conversation- then moves to my car.

Appears the guy who ran up is a Ford guy, and he was just standing there staring at the front end and brakes, and the supervisor then comes up to get them back to work.

Taking the hint I pull off and say to them- "have a nice day"

The Ford guy responds "I will now that I have seen this car"- and he meant it in all sincerity.

Made me feel good.

Anyway when I pulled it off I opened it a bit for his benefit, and then gave it a boot around the local lake S bends which would have reverberated up to the peninsula he was working on.

Driving my car as a daily I take it for granted- sometimes need a little reminding that it is a piece of Australian Ford motoring history.
