I don't like shiny new things any more, I like shiny old things instead. May be it is part of aging process, or I would say maturing ( I hope it is maturing, because some of us age but never mature!).
I prefer driving my old cars than the new ones. Pleasure I get driving my 35 year old car can not be described. My daughter thinks I neglect my new car at the cost of my old ones. All of a sudden I prefer to sit in old antique chairs and want to walk on old tattered Persian rugs. Since I am getting patina of age myself therefore I am liking everything with patina?
'am glad my beloved wife has patina spell on her too, otherwise she might have thought I have gone cuckoo.
Last night I saw pictures of a black 1957 Mercedes 300SL roadster, all original unmolested (as the car people call it). I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of it, had hard time falling asleep. The car is already sold, I just kept thinking and hoping that new money has not bought and over restored it.
Here is some patina to share, what do you think?
