Your First Car....
@CatsCan I reckon they look pretty good. When i was last in Deutschland, roughly 10 years ago, I was there with a buddy who had a small Holden Astra wagon here in Australia. He was pleasantly surprised to see plenty of the same model across Westfalen, but there known as Opel. We found German...- Benny Holiday

Your First Car....
I haven't seen an 1100 for a long time, either. They were common enough 35-40 years ago. As Catscan said, all those GM models are related. Holden closed manufacturing operations here in October 2017 after 69 years of building cars. After that, Vauxhalls were being imported and re-badged as...- Benny Holiday

Your First Car....
My first ride was a 1967 General Motors Holden HR Premier model. 186 "red" motor, two-speed Powerglide transmission. It looked just like this: I bought it in June 1987 for, if I remember right, $2500. I drove it for seven years before selling it on. That model was prone to rust in the lower...- Benny Holiday

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Amazing photos. You don't see that in Australia! Even up in the high country (the aptly-named Snowy Mountains), in the peak season between June and October, blizzard conditions have seen 18 and a half inches of snow fall in 24 hours. It's more likely that, at its heaviest in August, you'll get...- Benny Holiday

Aero 50’s midnight blue ass kicker Halfbelt
Of course the fit is perfection and then some but the colour . . . I only wish I could see it in real life. That has to put a strut into your walk! One of the best blues I've ever seen in leather. I'm nicknaming this jacket the King of Chicago, because it rules, man!- Benny Holiday

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
My grandfather was a magicican of some note back.in the 20s & 30s. Among his tricks was fortune telling, and he once told my Dad that it was all simple tricks & techniques, knowing how to "read" people - what they call "mentalism" today. Except, he said, for one weird incident, in which he...- Benny Holiday

What was the road to your fit nirvana? :)
I asked Aero what size they recommended when I bought my first halfbelt 16 years ago. I went off my chest measurement only. According to my tailor I'm pretty close to a perfect metric size 92 short; if I was 5' 10" instead of 5' 8" I'd be "just right" he said once with a laugh. I tend to stick...- Benny Holiday

Oumuamua
Off topic, but Tom the Hawaiian Pidgin reminds me of some of my Samoan friends here in Sydney - well, the ones born in Samoa, not so much the kids born here. They speak in a similar fashion and it always makes me smile, 'cause they're all such warm and fun people.- Benny Holiday

Even if there were to be some form of advanced interplanetary life out there that could visit us or communicate with us in some way, what would we do? Thousands of years of human civilsation and we can't even get along with different cultures and people from the other side of our own world. How...- Benny Holiday

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
Fascinating, I think, that when Moses asked the voice in the burning bush His name, he replied, "Ehyeh asher Ehyeh," "I will be what I will be." The idols of the ancient near east were representatives of gods people sought to seek favour from or control; they used their names in the same way...- Benny Holiday

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?
Well friends, Simon James Cathcart (SJC) has a sale on, and how could I resist this for 195 British pounds ($342 Aussie)? Sz 38, pit to pit 20 inches, sleeves 24 inches - it should fit me perfectly. Snapped it up this morning. You'll see more of it when it arrives:- Benny Holiday

Anyone with even a basic grasp of modern Alpha Centauran could read those glyphs. It says: "Hi Earthlings, don't listen to that former Israeli defense chief, he's a lying b*stard. Hi Mom!" Really it does. :p:D- Benny Holiday
