Ahh back in 82.......
The music, the big hair, the "Great way of Life", the great free trips to "Jolly Old" for "Uncle Sugar"!! LMAO!!!

In the end of this chapter of
CAR HUNT! FABOZENE:cool:
you will see a "British" Taxi. (Please no offense intended if I used that term wrong. No ill will meant and pardon to our peeps in England, sorry blokes) Funny story I thought I would share.....
It was the early 80's and I was serving my country working on Buffs and was sent TDY to England with them 2 years in a row. Great times, loved the country and the people. Very warm and friendly. The WWII generation would treat us like royalty in the pubs! But in turn I would always hand out the free King Edward Cigars to them too. Hey it was all good!!
I digress.....
Anyway, Me and the boys, we had a weekend "OFF". So we decided we would go into London to see what kind of mischief we could get into. We decided t go there by rail (everyone uses there) Had a bar car!! There was a strange guy following us we noticed. (It wasn't a secret we were going so Base security of some secret unknown sorce would be there watching us.) We made this guy following us from the first station in town we were in. He followed us on the train, to the bar car, back to seats, back to bar car (each one of us, he would follow and keep moving to watch us all, weird huh??) We get off in London. We see him out front of the station and proceed to walk and run at times to loose him. We did or so we thought....
We see a taxi stand so we jump in one of the taxis there (See last pics on this chapter) and tell the driver to take us to Picadilly (we heard that was where the gals were). The driver says "Alright Yanks her we go. He pulls up to the next space and stops, shuts off motor, and says "Ear we are Yanks, that will be 10 pound each! We kinda looked at each other freaking. The driver says walk through the alley, it's the next street over!We all started bustin up laughing. Dropped a 10 spot on him anyway!
We get out and what do ya know, the guy that WAS following us is jumping out of a taxi behind us that had only moved 1 spot too!!!
LAMO!!!
So for craps and giggles the group sent the main smart *** (me) over to ask him what neighborhood the girls were in. He also swears he wasn't following us! (Yeah...RIIIiiiight!)
So we offer him 10 pound to show us around the red light district. When he thought we were going up stairs to one place, He said he was off for smokes and would be right back.
As soon as he left, we were back down the stairs and gone. I'm sure he got reamed for loosing us. We didn't ever see him again. LOL
We spent all Sat. touristing London. Stayed in a B&B for 10 pound each. The place had 7 mini single beds in the same room sharing a bathroom!!
Weird but cheap. The breakfast the next morning was "Bangers and eggs"
It was the best breakfast I ever had. Perfect for the hangover we all suffered.
Good Times!
Back to chapter 34 of
CAR HUNT! FABOZENE:cool:
There is a car lot in Cincinnati OH that I stop in and look around anytime I'm near there. I've always wanted to share this place wiuth you guys and gals but always forget the camera!
Well guess what? I went today and had the camera!!!
Pics to follow...

I wanted to tell FABO also, chapter 35 is looming....
Word on the streets is, I've worked a deal for a 73 Scampi the same colors as our other car LUMP!
FABO, FOTO, and I, will be leaving around 6 ish in the morning to go and pick it up, as long it is as described. They are supposed to have paperwork ready for transfer at 7am!!
I CAN"T WAIT TOO SEE IT!!!
It's supposed to have a "Like New" trunk area under mat, NO RUST!!
Yet another Older Lady owned car. She always garaged it and had it painted every so often to keep it fresh. LOL
If you guys want to go with me I'll take ya but there won't be any arguing and I'm the boss when you're riding in FOTO with me to pick up a car. I need to focus and not listen to a bunch of whining about the bathroom or when are we getting there!!!!:mrgreen:

Might need to make another chapter for that Lancer!!:love7:
