What made you happy today?

[Chris Taylor]

Well ,after owning Patches for over 32 years I think could honestly say having her as part of my life, the good times the bad times, so many times i could have sold her because she just p====d me right off, then but other times she put a big smile on  my  face ,I have  had a few other types cars as well over those 32 years and good as they were none of them could give me the pleasure and pride of owning her ,now don't  get me wrong they were good but they just didn't  have the same appeal, there is something  about getting  behind  the wheel  starting  the engine  and hearing  that tac tac tac accentuated  by the twin  exhaust  system. She is what  she  is ,to me she  is  my big boy  toy, my work  horse ,, my picnic bus ,my go  almost  go anywhere  vehicle ,and when I am driving  her down the road I feel I am king of the road ,people  wave ,take  photos, want to talk  and sometimes tell me stories  of times  when  they owned one, and yes she is old ,she has be around  the block  a few times ,she maybe  looking a worse for were but she makes  m feel Dam good, and yes I am her proud owner , and yes ,that is what makes me  happy every  day.
