Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Came across an exhibition of old cars - and realised I could recognise them all and had driven or been a passenger in most of them.
I recall the little foot button that dipped my main beam. I recall the gap in the grill to allow me to put a crank in to turn the engine over when the normal key activation failed.  The gear stick that emerged from the steering column. Leaded petrol!
I recall the wait for the choke to kick in and the annual trip to get my single carb sorted or getting the engine tuned!!!
So old is simply a state of mind. What glorious memories.
