The art of being cool

[oldyzman]

Gotta luv that 55 in primer with the sight coat, there is just something about it.When i was a kid there were so many EH and old torana's getting around like that.

Firko's thong......?

In the UK a thong is something a woman wears.  They resemble shoe laces ~ think of the girls on the beaches in Rio and are best suited to shapely young women!

I had to laugh out loud at the thought of Firko in a thong, starting the Triumph.  Still what ever floats your boat!

(OZ Thongs = UK flip-flops)

[firko]

He invented cool, I wonder if he's wearing thong's Firko?

Trust me, the last thing you want to see is me in a thong Ben, however I think you've misread Slidey's post.......he's talking about Mr McQueen kicking over the Trumpy in thongs, not me. I've got a 3" radius semi circular scar and no feeling in my left instep obtained from kicking my 380 CZ over in flip flops when I was a younger and stupider man. For whatever it's worth, the Yanks call 'em flip flops too...I don't know how we got to call 'em thongs or why our ever amusing Kiwi friends call 'em Jandals. Note below shot of our handsome windblown hero wearing his thongs/flipflops/jandals while chilling out with his homies.

I'm glad you put him straight Firko because that was a mental image that doesn't bare thinking about.

Now I'm worried about how & where you found that photo, please remove it immediately.
MOD's where are you when you're really needed?

Sad but true.........The Fonz was supposed to ride a Harley in Happy Days, however as he couldn't ride a motorcycle, Bud Ekins, the stunt rider in the Great Escape supplied a lighter '49 Triumph Scrambler which was easier for the crew to PUSH !!.......How UNCOOL !!

Cool has no boundaries. This shot was taken nearly 70 years ago yet it could have been taken yesterday.

Except today they would be swapping footwear

Easy to be cool if you look good in the first place. That's why I am not cool. J

Hey Mark

They don't just look super cool but they look really happy

Some people will tell you that slow is good – but I’m here to tell you that fast is better.  I’ve always believed this, in spite of the trouble it’s caused me.  Being shot out of a cannon will always be better than being squeezed out of a tube.  That is why God made fast motorcycles, Bubba…

That photo is almost identical to my favourite photos of my Mum and Dad from their youth. Fantastic and thankyou Firko

AHHHHHHH my eyes hurt.  Please make it stop.  (good sensible footwear though.  I would have thought some nice little kitten heels would have gone better with that outfit!)
