The Easter Bilby

[den]

To cheer myself up I bought some easter bilbies to munch on.

I saw the old Maserati driver again, but awared her severl thousand bonus coolness points because she was driving a sky-blue P76. She must own that as well as the Maserati. I can't imagine anyone exchanging an Itallian sports car for an old Leyland Australia job, even if it is a classic.

Aunt Pipi is going to be in so much trouble.

the official colour designation for the "sky blue" p76 paint colour is "Am Eye Blue". the darker metallic blue that was _the_ colour for the Force 7V was "Omega Blue". Which is pretty boring next to the other colours in the range, including "Plum Crazy", "N-V Green", "Hairy Lime", "Bold As Brass", "Home on th' Orange" and my personal favourite, the chocolate brown "Here come de fudge" (I was a big Flip Wilson (http://www.tvparty.com/flip.html) fan in my misguided youth).

the even less well-remembered Leyland Marina (http://203.63.44.247/P76/general/marina/marinaindex.html) shared several colours with the P76 colour range - mostly the boring-named ones, Dry Red, Spanish Olive, Country Cream.

ahhh, nostalgia. ;-)

I used to have a Marina - a 2.0L Coupe with vinyl roof. It was a sort of a horrible light bluey-green colour, but it was fast!

In '97, I took a pair of very large easter bilbies to San Francisco for the teenaged children of the friends I'd be staying with for a while.

When one of those "children" was out in Australia in 2002 while doing an exchange semester of her Environmental Law Degree, she got to meet Frank Manthey. Her "Save the Bilby" Cap results in a lot of curious questions back at her university in the US.

Cherry Ripe Eggs? *whine*

Well, there are Snickers Eggs here, so it balances out:).
