Not only Rockee teached me today another word in slang,but he posted a photo that made me think of CARS.
[www.iorr.org]

I know that some posters on iorr are into cars like I am .

There were some threads related to the cars Jagger or Richards liked /owned ,but I didn't use the "search button" yet.

For myself ,I love American cars ...50's to 70's but it doesn't mean I don't like English or French cars ....

One of my first love...My father's car,back in the early seventies :






I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .

FORD vs CHEV..MUSTANG

I like brand new cars.......

Beautiful Peugeot 504 cabriolet there, Sway. They must be quite rare by now.

First real car thread ..........thanks Swaystones....wil add my favs soon

And if we post the VW golf Stones version it will be not OT:

__________________________

I think it's the 404. Isn't it ? One of the most beautifull cabriolet (with the 504...)

Sorry, you are right, Shezeboss. It's a 404 cab, of course.

My first car was a 1970 Chevy Nova. Kinda like this one. Stones related? Sure. It's the car I drove to Philadelphia to see the Stones in 1978. I had a cassette deck put in. That was a rare thing in '78. Most people still had 8-tracks.

Doesn't Mick own a Ferrari?

C'mon folks, show us your 'motor'. How about a pic of your first car? Or maybe a car you remember your parents owning. My parents first car was a 1931 Ford. Already a relic when they bought it for a song in 1948.

Here I am and the car I drove to Perth to see the Stones in Feb 65

My Stones-related car story is:

I moved to Buffalo in 1984. I went out to a bar and when I got back to my car I discovered the windows were smashed and someone had stolen the stereo system from the car. The only thing I could tell the police about the possible thief was that he was NOT a Rolling Stones fan. They had taken the stereo, but had taken out the Undercover album/tape that was in the player and put it back in it's case, and put it on the dashboard, away from the broken glass. Or maybe he was a fan, and wanted to take care of a great piece of music!

You sure it wasn't Dirty Work you had in the car?

FORD vs CHEV..MUSTANG

Funny you mention it because two days ao, on my way home after I picked my daughter at school , we saw a car next to us & we knew what car it was ..... A Ford Mustang !
The "sill" - Am I correct ? - that is to say what is" under the car "- was on a bad shape IMO.

I am into Chevy , Chevrolet cars from the 2d generation to the 6th one .

Apart from Chevy (ies) , here are my fave .

Number one :

Jaguar Sovereign

Chevy from 1956 to 1976

Love it but the "face" front of the car looks too "futurist" ..does it make sense ?

ASTON MARTIN
JAGUAR
MUSTANG COBRA

I recall my so called misspent youth
It seems more worthwhile every single day
Cruisin' Van Nuys and acting so uncouth
All the joys of runnin' away
There was no speed limit on the Nevada state line
The air was red wine on those top down nights
Just you and me my old roller-skate
And the common sense to know our rights
Sweet old racin' car of mine
Roarin' down that broken line
I never been so much alive
Too fast for comfort
Too low to fly
Too young to die

You say a man can't love a material thing
With aluminum skin and a cast iron soul
But they never heard your engine sing
Ah, there's peace in losing control
With "Sticky Fingers" turned up real loud
Ah, we were flirtin' with catastrophe
We were doing everything that's not allowed
Life didn't come with a warranty for you and me
Sweet old racin' car of mine
Roarin' down that broken line
I never been so much alive
Too fast for comfort
Too low to fly
Too young to die

There is peace in losing control
When I die I don't wanna go to Heaven
I just wanna drive my beautiful machine
Up north on some Sonoma County road
With Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen all the boys be singin', singin'
Sweet old racin' car of mine
Roarin' down that broken line
I never felt so much alive
Too fast for comfort
Is too low to fly
Too young to die
Just a little bit too young
Too young
To die

Yes, and he probably own or owned more than one in his life.
The funny thing is that he also drive very ordinary family cars when he stay in his french castle. Like an old grey Peugeot 505 break (station wagon) or a Renault Espace (a kind of french van). Probably when he wants to be as anonymous as possible.

Everything they've done you have been and done already.

Every lovely spot near or far,
You can reach them too in your car,
Or you might be there now if you own a jag already.

The radio blasting, the girls are glancing,
The dash is dancing with gleaming dials.

Grace space race.
Grace space race.
Jaguar, jaguar, jaguar, jaguar.
