Good find, and amusing. Should there be the stop after 'Eldorado'? I thought perhaps, a dash...

Very much liked.

Sorry have not had much time to read lately, but the little job I was doing is finished, however I'll be away from home next week visiting my Mother and my daughter.

How intriguing, a beautiful last line. Maybe those five-year olds in Russia who dug under the nursery fence and went searching for a car saleroom to buy a real car, could have afforded this one! what does 'hydramic' mean? I googled it and found it was in adverts, but couldn't find a meaning suggested! Rhiaoon

Sorry for the delay in replying.

 I'm pleased you liked this.

Hydramatic is the GM trade name for an automatic gearbox
