the dream that will never be
it’s definitely not the first time i’m writing about it, and indeed, it probably won’t be the last time. once again, i shall press on the fact that i have a certain afinity for old things. i keep junk (literally). hell, i even kept my dad’s italian three spoke steering wheel from his car. and it was OLD, i must have kept it since i was 5 or something. with the thoughts that i wanted to install it on the first car i own. but guess what, someone threw it away without letting me know. i still enjoy knowing that my grandfathers slide projector is still in the cupboard downstairs, even though the slides of my grandad probably can’t be used anymore. i have no recollection of him talking to me you see.. he died when i was merely five. and the last thing i remember of him was looking at in his vegetative state on the hospital bed, and how i managed to stick my head between the rails of the balcony at the hospital. but with the help of the nurses and some vaseline, my head poped out from the gap.. heh
i’ve dreamt of you ever since i was 16. riding my bicycle around ss14 and i saw you. it was definitely love at first sight. friends who saw me never would understand how i could just stand there and appreciate how you looked, even with all the rust and damage. i still thought that you were beautiful. i vowed to myself that one day i’ll own something like you, but just maybe thats a dream that may never be fulfilled. i don’t know much about cars an how they work.. hehe i’m no grease monkey ok..
things back then were just made with so much more ‘feel’. i’d rather be seen driving this old car compared to be seen in any other modern days sports car. who the hell needs to be traveling at break neck speed when they could be cruising around in style. some has made remarks that i’m dumb to want somethign THAT old. older then me even. 26 years old and yet still a beauty. now thats what i call design.
amongst others that i would really love to have one day..
a fiat 128 rallye
Datsun 510
ok i’m nuts.. and i don’t know anything else to write about. and i’ve been writing about cars in succession. but i couldn’t keep myself from writing when i saw the pictures online..
