Victor:
Oh, yes, I remember the 70s. I hope we'll be seeing you and Andrew at the
next meet sporting your shag haircuts, and talking to each other on your CB
radios. 10-4, good buddy. We got us a convoy!
Everybody now:
Macho, macho Roadster
I want to own a macho roadster...
I'd remember more about the 70s, but I'm feeling queasy :-)
