Dear Mujahid Sb.,
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance even if it is in the cyber world. Asim Sb. is very extravagant in giving praise. You are too kind with your words. To be honest, I find all this praise somewhat embarrassing. As a kid I have been nuts about cars. Now that most of my responsibilities are dealt with, I can "fool" around with my childhood passion:). I suppose one could say I have regressed
Good evening to you too Sir.
"pooray she may aik he garri tthhee" Wow!! I am truly humbled by Mujahid Sb's accolade. I wish I had made his acquaintance earlier I would have given him the full tour plus introduced him to my family too. Heh heh, you are 100% right cleaning her was a breeze compared to the physical labour and huffing and puffing while getting the gearbox out and putting it back later. The boy who normally cleans the cars was assigned other duties by the wife so he could not be with the car that day. I think there were quite a few other better ones on display. I thought the White and Navy Rolls Royce Silver Shadow belonging to a grand old gentleman, Dr. Tariq Awan, was miles ahead of my car. So was the 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine parked next to my car belonging to a dear friend, Mr. Mehmood Jillani. There was also the 1967 Toyota Corona that was worthy of mention. I really couldn't anything wrong with it.
Unlike my car, some of the cars present in the show were basket cases when they began their journey to being restored so one has to appreciate the "not so perfect" cars also. Their owners may have put in much much more work and money than I to get where they got. Some of the visitors came to the car came and pointed out a places where improvements could be made. I have made up a list and will begin to implement the same.
Cheers.
Oh I forgot to mention I was in Lahore yesterday for a few hours. My son had a meeting in the NCA. We drove in completed the meeting and drove back the same day. Perhaps next time when I am there for a few days, I'll make it a point to set up a meeting with you:)
