The Mac

Post by mac » 07 Feb 2014 12:08 pm

A quietly rusting, crumbling, mildly eccentric creature - well the wrong side of 60 who is also a full card carrying, bearded old fart from the VOC.
Spent much of his working life doing a tolerably good job of convincing people that he was an engineer (for a car manufacturer) and now in his dotage likes to pretend he knows a little about 300s!
Retired early (in the mid nineties), due to unpredictable health and currently lives in a garden shed collecting bits and "fixing things".

In his natural habitat (adjusting an o'silly skope),

Out foraging for berries and grubs,

In VOC mode with SWMBO,

Currently the drive is filled with an 87 3door 1.4, an 88 Redline, and the boss's 12 XC70 AWD.


Or, of course, none of the above might be real - in fact the whole world could be a figment of my fevered imagination as I lie comatose in my cave following an excess of yum yum root in 1964!

Ho hum - Mac.

That last picture is a fake.

There's no way that The Mac would be seen out in public wearing trousers......

That would be worrying if true, I had to cut short seeing Mac this weekend to get back home and go to a Move gig!
