g'day hearsefans, yeah i know it's not a hearse but i'm bringing it back from the dead, this was taken a couple of years ago and i'll put up a progress shot soon. anyway i got an email the other day from another hearse enthusiast saying that he gets asked all the time if he is a funeral director because he drives a hearse and do i get the same, it's good to hear i'm not alone, well yeah, most times i go out in fact, and a fair question i suppose but alas not, anyway i'd be a pretty bodgey looking one anyway black shorts, tshirt, workboots, thats just what i wear for the last 25 years or so but i just like the cars. people ask me how can you bear to go near those things if thats not your job. to them they see a saddening, sinister, scary vision not the object of beauty or automotive art i see. not that i have a problem with funeral directors quite the opposite in fact, i reckon they do a fantastic job and really do deserve a medal for their dedicated service, even hearseboy wants to be one which i think is great as i see it as a very noble profession. i actually forget i'm driving a hearse sometimes and are very comfortable around them, there are horses for courses they say and i guess they are not for most people but someone has to preserve these magnificent machines. speaking of preservation hearseboy has been madly polishing our newest member and getting some more bodywork done on his ltd as i've been a bit tied up with the monaro, i've got a sudden burst of enthusiasm at the moment so i'm getting in a few days on that till i get back to hearse central. till next time.
