What started it for you?
Discussion
To me my love of all things petrol goes back to when I was four or five and travelled around in the back of either the old mans or grandfathers various chariots.
Today the first magazine purchase of the moth is still Classic Car, Classic and Sports Car and now of course Octane to read about the cars that started things off. Now I’m going to have a wild stab in the dark and say the same applies for most of you good folk, particularly when I read about the Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9 below.
So let’s have the one defining moment which started things off
At the age of 7 I remember being in the old mans 2.7 RS on the then new dual carriageway through Bury St Edmunds when we were overtaken my no less than a 450 SEL 6.9. Until then I wasn’t sure why the old man doted on that noisy uncomfortable brute but then it became oh so clear. First time past 150 and a 6.9 not quite as omnipotent as he was 5 minutes earlier
Just imagine if it had never happened, I might be into Rambling…………….
