Car = car
bon = good

God is indicating sumfink!

Bon (盆) is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one's ancestors. This suggests therefore that we should honour the memory of the cars our ancestors drove.

I honour the memory of the very first car I ever drove. Belonged to my Uncle, and he let me drive in round the farmyard where we lived. I was 11 at the time.

1936 Triumph Gloria !

My own first car was a 1953 Austin A40 Somerset - PNA564

Who can remember the reg number of your first car?

VSC 823

Strangely I don't remember my first car's plate although I do remember the registration number of my dad's first car LGB 533.

UFG23

Mine GSB 99F a Renault 4 with the push-pull gear stick.

POO761 1962 "Speedwell" tuned Morris mini

affectionately known as "Mini the Poo"

My dad's first car was a Hillman Minx Shooting Brake EVJ 918
My first was a Hillman Husky but I can't remember the number.
One thing I do remember is the first weekend I owned it - 4 of us headed off to
Ingliston car racing and went into Edinburgh afterwards. Halfway into town I came
upon the first traffic lights I'd ever seen as a driver and paniced because I couldn't
remember the light's sequence. I had been driving for almost a year and had never
encountered them. Seems strange now, where every village has at least one set of
lights.

I can't even remember the current reg I have. Come to think of it, I can't even remember what kind it is....... I think it is black though.

I can, but I'm not going to post it here because I sometimes use it as a password.

Nuthin' wrong with carbon - stick a couple of oxygens - or worse - four hydrogens onto one and chuck it in the air... THEN you've got a problem.
