They are a little different, aren't they?
I doubt this car has seen an hours' use the whole time I've owned it.

I honestly don't remember much about it at all. I don't remember a Zephyr.

This just arrived and I love the lettering work.

I'll be completely honest here. I went with a high school group. I'm from a very, very small town. So two things happened: 1...I was overwhelmed by the city, and 2...I was busy trying to impress a girl in our group.

No. Not at all.

But here's the whole story:

So we were walking around town, checking out some sites. On our way back to our hotel, we walked by these two gang member looking dudes who seemed to be messed up on something. They made some rude comments, and she immediately got between me and another guy. It was scary, especially for a country bumpkin like me. The gang thugs started to follow us. All of the sudden, half a dozen guys in full Scottish dress, kilts and all, came out of a building. The thugs immediately turned their attention to them. I remember one of them shouting "hey Roddy Piper" and just like that the thugs turned away. I'd like to think those Scottish guys took them aside and taught them a lesson, but I don't know. All I know is we got out of that alive. I swear that is true and I could not make that up if I wanted to.
