Any rumors that you might hear about me being in the trenches fighting the Hun are all lies,.. I was fixing rotary engines in Sopwith Camels instead.

I was born on the same day & month that Pinochet took over control of Chille [in '73] in a bloody coup', but in the year that Menzies came to power as Prime Minister of Australia.

Today, at 7:30 am, the 24th of January 2006, I celebrated my 40th aniversary of employment with the same employer. [now who said I couldn't hold down a job]
I was presented with my trinkets & awards relevent to the occasion by the State Manager who traveled to our office for the occasion. [BFD]

I am 56 years old & bought my own first Datsun in 1980, it is a '68 1000 sedan & I still have it.
My stepfather was half owner in D&G motors, a Datsun dealership, from the late 60.s so Datsuns have been in the family ever since.

Dd, I regard 1929 models as 'moderately old' & anything since 1950 as being so young that they should be still under warranty.
