temporary flashback

[jphanna]

well i have just arrived home, and just witnessed a rare quick show that i suppose, in the 70's and 80's wasn't too uncommon.

in today's politically correct world, i am not condoning what i saw and heard, but i will report on it.

i am heading towards at T junction which has several lights associated with this demonstration of horsepower, would have started about 100 metres before i saw (and heard.....) them.

i could only just make out the marques and colour. details, forget it. BLACK HSV of VE (or VF?), and BLACK MERC/AMG. i had my windows up with music on and the noise of both these v8 was not unlike my memories of A.I.R back in the day of Dick Johnson/Brock/Bartlett touring cars. Crisp and very loud.

i didnt see the end of it as they were out of my line of sight, by the time i got to the intersection, but i do know this......If i had paid 150-250K for an AMG, built by the Fatherland, i would be asking myself why is this 'lesser brand', Bogan cars bonnet, next to my drivers mirror?

been a while since i seen something like this. sent me back a few decades.
