Guess I'll have to dust off some old 33's...and listen to "Boston" again.

Now I really feel old.....    I always considered Boston as one of the "younger generation's" rock groups !

But that photograph - road bike with what looks like centre pull brakes and downtube shifters - check.

Motorbike a blue Suzuki (?) with, wait for it, a front disc brake (!) - check.

Long hair (well at least back then, I have solar panels now  :) ) - check. 

Bell Bottom denims with wide leather belts...  check.

In my case it took 20yrs to get the check on the Europa, 30+ on the Porsche but clearly I have work to do in the area of E-types !

Nostalgia - there's nothing like it.....

Not quite the cachet of Mrs. Peel and her Elan, but they all seem to have educated tastes in vehicles!

Nostalgia is not like it used to be.

I fear the majority of Europa owners should be self-isolating at the moment.
