What still surprises me the most in Europe is how (most) Europeans value old things. From buildings, arts, homes to name a few.. and of course cars. Seeing vintage cars on streets and highways is very normal around here. On my wedding alone, we used a 1935 Citroen and coming from a country where old is old - pangit! -I was a bit surprised when I saw the wedding car (kasing antigo naming mag-asawa ha ha!) But old is valued here, the older the better! (Oh ha, valuable ako dito ;) )
the above photo was a 1930 restored Ford. The board says : “A Ford 1930, restored, but rides like a train”
Every two years our city holds steam engines exhibition. From boats to trains, firetrucks and cars. This year they also exhibited a few very old cars running on gas, quite a success as people flocked around them, touching them. I guess most guys wanted to ride them too.
Ano kaya ang pakiramdam kung may pag-aari kaming ganitong uri ng sasakyan? ang mahal siguro ng magagastos sa maintenance nito ano?
grabe astig! pati ako napapatalon

kakamangha yung mga taong obsessed sa vintage cars….mas nakakagulat yung limpak-limpak na salaping ginagastos ng mga taong nagbibid sa mga ganitong kotse sa vintage car auctions.

Thess, kaya ang ganda sa europa eh… puro history kahit saan ka magpunta (and I did not mean the people ha). Gusto ko yung sasakan na iyan, ang ganda ng kulay niya. Pero hindi ko rin maisip kung gano kamahal i-maintain iyan… sa ka kaya kukuha ng parts? yikes!
PS: ang galing naman at muntik na tayong nagkapareho ng entry. i think GE dapat din yung electric fan namin except that imitation lang ata yon eh kaya naging SE.

Like what most car enthusiasts say, it’s more expensive to maintain vintage cars. Sa piyesa pa lang, ang mahal na.

naalala ko tuloy ung mga car shows na napupuntahan ko dito.. luma na rin ung mga sasakyan, pero dahil sa nirerestore nga nila, maganda pa ring tingnan.. :D
