On February 16th 2024 Wendy and I set-forth on a 20 day trip, revisiting old haunts in SE Asia.
From Hong Kong we made a brief side-trip to Shenzhen in China then embarked on a Cruise, sailing down the east coast, south, to Singapore where we spent a few days, before returning home: [Hong Kong; Ha Long Bay/Hanoi; Hoi An; Ho Chi Min City (Saigon); Bangkok; Ko Samui; Singapore]
On the occasion of an afternoon tea to mark this significant milestone...
| When I was one, I was just begun; When I was two, I was nearly new; When I was Three, I was hardly me; * * * But then I was sixty, and as clever as clever; Wouldn't it be nice to stay sixty for ever and ever? (With apologies to AA Milne) |
Hang on! Now I'm seventy? How did that happen?
I drive a Holden.
It’s my second. The first was a shiny black Commodore. A V6 Lumina edition.
I have owned well over a dozen cars and driven a lot more, in numerous countries, but these are my first from General Motors.
The new one is a white Calais Sportswagon and it's the best car I've ever owned.
Based on the German Opel, it has traction control conferring impeccable braking and steering and ample power and acceleration even with four adults and luggage. Add to that: leather seats; climate control; head-up display; voice commands for entertainment, phone and so on; and it's a luxurious ride.
Yet I’m starting to think that I can put an end to any car brand, just by buying one.
Holden finally ceased manufacturing in Australia just after my present model rolled off the production line.
