Classic Car


This week has been good so far. Apologies if I've mentioned this already but I started my new job a few weeks ago and felt like it just wasn't for me. Ever had that experience where you are doing something and it doesn't feel right? That was exactly it. On a spur of the moment thing, a friend and I popped into a local hotel/pub to ask if they had any jobs and apparently it was perfect timing because I'm now working in their kitchen and loving it. So far so good and I spotted this car parked in their parking lot.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Love all the chrome on these old cars, but I read now that chrome is being phased out and won't be used on any new cars now. A pity, as it seems to add that little touch of class.

That car is a true gem

1953 Humber, a British car. That is approximately correct, it has the lines of the 1953. I owned a 1952 and 1953 Fords. (Also owned two 1950s, a 1951, then jumped to a 1956 (had two of those, a convertible and a 4-door sedan--my two Ford Mustangs are antiques now, a 1974 and a 1998, that is 25 years old or older in Texas.)
p.s. I like your old car header photo. Best wishes on the new job.

Fantastic-talk about grasp the nettle. There are lots of reasons to love kitchens. I hope you go on loving it.

That's a real beauty! I'm glad you're enjoying your job!

I drove a Singer Vogue (a sister car of the one you've shown) back in the day when it wasn't a classic car! I suddenly feel quite old!
