Default Contrast in style separated by 55 years







Interesting comparison of styles and size between my 1960 MGA and new GT4. Separated by approx. 55 years which, interestingly enough, is my age. My apologies for the crappy cell phone picture quality.

Actually 55 will put me in jail but 50 is legal. Does anyone know what 20 year old women are into? Don't think classic 70s Rock will work with someone born in 1996! Carl

Personally I'd keep everything OEM and find someone who accepts zero mods.

not as bad as seeing Hugh Hefner propped up looking dead in his red robe with a 20yr old super model..so sad

My rule is never marry anyone not born in the same century.

Flavio is a legend (in some circles at least )! Keep in mind his butterfly collection includes Heidi Klum, Naomi Campbell, Adriana Volpe, etc.

Maybe there is a potent V12 under that large hood

yeah.....otherwise known as a well stocked wallet

Actually... I don't make judgements. He could be a wonderful man and is probably very smart, well traveled and may have many positive attributes. Good for him that he has been with some of the most beautiful and desirable women in the world.
