Reminds me of the story of an old bloke in Hillgrove, a little mining town in the hills near Armidale in New South Wales.
Being a sleepy kind of place, it didn't matter that he would simply stop in the middle of the street to have a chat with anyone as he drove about in his Vanguard. We speak of the seventies here, when the Vanguard was well over twenty years old...
He was a wise man, it seems, he had another car at home for use when this one rusted too badly to continue registering... "It had an oil leak when it was new, so it won't rust for a long time," he's reputed to have said.
