However , when I bought MY first Vauxhall in 1978 , it was at that time own by American 'General Motors'
And it was generally well known at that time , that GM owned Vauxhall , Opel , & Bedford . . .
My Vauxhall was a 'Viva GT' ~ very rare , only 200 made . . . didn't even have a handbook ! - but the manual for the 'VX-490' was perfect, as that was it's ohc engine . . . . twin Stromberg carburetors, that were virtually pumps!
mine only got 8 miles to the gallon when I got it ! . After much expert work & tuning, got it up to an amazing 20 mpg
Could only keep it running with help from enthusiastic friends & constant raiding 'scrappies' for VX490 parts . . .
Finally had to let it go

Here is a rather toned down model , and a dreadful colour !

Soulmates do not exist. Out of 7 billion people, nobody is that unique that only one person will fit them. As long as you are waiting for your soulmate, you will be alone and miserable, because your standard will be too high, and you will ignore everyone who doesn’t fit your idea of “soulmate.” Instead, know that there will be many many many people fully compatible with you, and a much bigger amount of people will be reasonably compatible with you. And that really is good enough. I have come to realize that the chances are I will never find my soulmate. I am okay with that. If it is meant to be, it is meant to be. In the meantime, I am happy with life as it is today. I've always had bad luck with love, and at one point I thought I'd never meet my soulmate. So I consider myself extremely fortunate to have come across this opportunity. The results of the tests seemed vaguely familiar to me at first, but I assumed it was just my imagination. I kept the drawing, but guess who I saw a few weeks after? The very same person who was inside the result all this time. It was too accurate to ignore, and we've been dating ever since. No can't say I do. I found my soul mate at 21 and we had 13 wonderful years from then until he died in 2013 and left me a widow. Then 1 year and 2 days after hubby died I met my twin flame. So if there is another soulmate out there for me I don't know and don't care right now as I am content with what I do have. Find yourself and love you and they will show up. We all have different journeys to self growth. I have come to realize that the chances are I will never find my soulmate. I am okay with that. If it is meant to be, it is meant to be. In the meantime, I am happy with life as it is today.

Because sometimes people want someone for all the wrong reasons, likes to hurt people emotionally, mentally instead of releasing them, reacting in a malicious an evil way. It says, does things that lure your heart in, it makes you develop strong feelings. Some people are impulsive with love, fall to quick with love. They think by looking at you, how you dressan how you talk an how your heart responds is someone thats similar to me, ends up falling hard with love.
Which isn't good because these people want to be loved, treated with respect. I'm actually one of those people. When I fall for a guy its head over heels, I become obsessed an foolish infatuated with him. I become vigorous , usually want to be heart of, noticed. Then I get all mushy, creative inside when I have a crush on someone. But usually my relationships end up short lived because what I want isn't something a girl should be chasing the guy, doing the work. Which is why I actually stopped doing that. When I was younger in high school I used to chase a guy, stick to one guy an then I become obsessed with him. Now it's I wanna know everything about you or be near you, flutter you with affection an attention. The problem is youre not my type, so back away. The nice thing is..I want to be noticed, you'll either want me or don't. Then..when I'm heart broken its boo boo, I'm sad. But hey..at least I tried, I got your attention. It didn't work out, but at least this person feels admired, happy that you found interest of crushing on me but its a no. Then you have the guys saying high..she's cute, yea..I will go out with her, slam I get dumped within a week. I'm getting to wrapped up, clingy an mushy to much. Bow the guy hates my temperament, doesn't get my mind. I sound nutty or owts not sharp witted of understanding me. Now.. I'm heart broken, looking for someone new or how about letting the guy come to you, chase you instead. Sometimes..a cougar goes better with a archer or a ram. Or maybe a water carrier or a Gemini or a Libra moon. Sometimes not knowing why you act the way you do..will eventually appear as you get older, actually find your twin that's kinda similar to your temperament. Sometimes its better for a guy to take the lead, show he's obsessed an into you.
Uh, I don't know. Why do you think you have? What's the reason why you shouldn't? Don't be ashamed to have feelings, unless they related to you, than that will be where ya draw the line. Don't do anything, and talk to a counselor about it if it's that. If it's just someone who's different qnd believes differently than you that's not the biggest deal as long as you agree on morals and religion. If it's your enemy than you'll figure it out. Just don't tell them. Short lived relationship are never good.

Oczywiście że my znali, a dlaczego ty nie znasz języka polskiego, a ja mam znać rosyjski?
Jak ja bym chciał do Ciebie na Kreml pisać, to włączyłbym translator i pisał po rosyjsku, a ty nie potrafisz włączyć translator i pisać w języku polskim? A język angielski znasz?

What is supposed to be between a friendship between a man and a woman? There is pure friendship and nothing else. I will prove it to you that there can be a pure friendship without sex between a man and a woman! You have a husband who has a twin brother. You are only friends with your husband's brother. You won't go to bed with your husband's brother, because your husband would have beaten you and your husband's brother so much that you would both remember treason for the rest of your life! Do you still have doubts whether there is a friendship between a man and a woman and never has sex in such a friendship?

/Papyrus had to think for a moment, was Dream really like this? It reminded the tall skeleton of his old ways, he was so adamant to help..even with knowing how his timeline was or maybe he failed to explain well enough? But what really got to him was the offer to heal his wounds..it was a constant problem for Papyrus.. he had to constantly use his healing magic just to be able to withstand the pain he's in so he can still move around and fight, he has to make sure he doesn't use too much magic though..if he becomes unable to use his healing magic or uses too much, he could dust or worse..what would be worse than dusting? Suffering until you dust..
I think any Sans would be heartbroken to watch their younger brother be put through so much/
YOU HAVE A BROTHER TRYING TO KILL YOU TOO!? I FEEL LIKE YOU MAY HAVE TOLD ME THAT BEFORE..BUT WITH ALL THE RESETS HERE, IT'S HARD TO REMEMBER THINGS AT TIMES..I'M STARTING TO REMEMBER MORE AND MORE FROM THE PAST RESETS.. BUT SOME THINGS ARE STILL HARD TO REMEMBER..LIKE OUR FIRST MEETING, I FEEL LIKE I'VE MET YOU BEFORE../unlike Sans, Papyrus wouldn't be able to remember every exact detail from all the resets..not without a few reminders, like when Geno showed him a cellphone, he remembered he had one of his own before and started talking about how popular he was over the internet when Geno spammed "So Cool" on his phone just to see what would happen, you can trigger Paps past memories to pop back in by doing certain things like that but he didn't interact all that much with Dream before so it might be harder for him to have Paps remember him/
BUT WE COULDN'T HAVE MET, I THINK I'D REMEMBER SOMEONE LIKE YOU, MAYBE IT WAS ANOTHER LOOK ALIKE HAVING BROTHER PROBLEMS..MAYBE SANS IS TURNING EVERYONE'S BROTHERS INTO HIM.. BUT..I DON'T KNOW.. IT IS TRUE I WOULDN'T STAY HEALED LONG..NOT WITH SANS OR THE HUMAN..WAIT..HOW DO YOU KNOW I'M IN PAIN!? I THOUGHT I HID IT, MAYBE I DIDN'T HIDE IT WELL ENOUGH??

Последние 2️⃣ недели я смотрел культовый сериал 9️⃣0️⃣ годов — "Твин Пикс (Twin Peaks)"
Он стал поистине популярным телесериалом того времени. Авторы показали 2️⃣ сезона, а затем на экраны вышел полнометражный фильм "Твин Пикс: Огонь, иди со мной/Сквозь огонь (Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me)", который только добавил популярности проекту. Но в тоже время он и разочаровал многих фанатов сериала, потому что после просмотра фильма осталось много недосказанного, различные вопросы. Фильм должен был казалось бы расставить всё на свои места, а вместо этого внёс ещё больше путаницы. По этой причине Дэвид Линч решил опубликовать новый материал. Порадовать поклонников сериала, сделав им сюрприз в виде фильма по мотивам основного проекта, в который включены все вырезанные сцены из сериала и фильма.
Давно хотел его посмотреть, в детстве мне показался он интересным, но мне запретили его смотреть. Только от взрослее ребят слышал рассказы серий. А вот сейчас я вообще разочаровался как в фильме, так и сериале. Подобный сериал "Нэнси Дрю" 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ года куда интереснее. Другие сериалы не смотрел. Главное, что жанр у обоих сериалов одинаковый. И третий сезон этого не намного отстал от "Нэнси".
Сюжет о таинственном преступлении, произошедшем в вымышленном городке Твин Пикс. Убита школьница Лора Палмер. Для проведения этого расследования направляют Дейла Купера, детектива ФБР. Сразу же подозрение падает на отца, но агент выясняет, что в этой истории замешен кто-то ещё. После находки дневника Лоры ситуация становится более запутанной. Из местных легенд Купер узнаёт, что есть вход в другой мир, из которого приходит злой дух. Чем дальше заходит расследование, тем больше переплетаются факты и мистика касательно убийства этой девушки.
А уже в 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣7️⃣ году вышел 3️⃣ сезон. 2️⃣5️⃣ лет назад жители маленького городка Твин Пикс были ошеломлены загадочным убийством популярной девушки, королевы школы — Лоры Палмер. События давно минувших дней дают о себе знать, история эта ещё не закончена.

Magnolia (1999) von PTA fand ich beim ersten Mal supergut, aber das Ende etwas komisch. Nun finde ich mich jährlich irgendwie den Film wiedersichten und habe ihn inzwischen total ins Herz geschlossen. Über drei Stunden lang und für mich sicherlich PTAs Meisterwerk. Tom Cruise als Red Piller ist einfach nur die Höhe.

Oldboy (2003) von Park Chan-wook war einer meiner ersten koreanischen Filme, und daher ist viel der Filmsprache noch an mir vorbeigegangen. Nachdem er sich zu einem meiner Lieblingsregisseure gemausert hat, habe ich den Film auch noch viele Male gesehen und liebe ihn inzwischen bedingungslos.

---

Ähnlich verhält es sich bei vielen der kinderfreundlicheren Ghibli-Filme, auch bei Mamoru Oshiis Filmen und bei Akira - die habe ich so früh gesehen. Jetzt, wo ich mit Anime und Animation wirklich sehr viel Erfahrung habe, habe ich erst realisiert, was für phänomenale Ausnahmewerke Filme wie Ghost in the Shell und Akira sind, oder Serien wie Cowboy Bebop.

Jim Jarmuschs Night on Earth (1991)! Fand ich anfangs mit jedem Kurzfilm etwas weniger cool, und am Ende etwas planlos. Rewatche ihn aber jährlich, weil der New Yorker Abschnitt allein so genial ist, und habe die Schönheit darin endlich erkannt. Mit jedem Kurzfilm wird die Nacht später, und die Begegnungen entsprechend... auch müder, irgendwie. Das ist einfach ein toller Film, gerade, wenn man selbst etwas müde ist.

---

Andrei Tarkovskys Ouvre ebenso. Damals war ich einfach noch nicht bereit für langsam erzähltes Kino, das auch noch als älteren Jahren ist. Jetzt, wo ich alte Filme sehr gern sehe, und auch überwiegend (noch dazu deutlich älter als 1960 oder sonst was), bin ich total daran gewöhnt, mehr entschleunigt. Seine intuitive Art, Filme zu drehen, findet bei mir "mit dem Alter" genau wie Terrence Malick und Wong Kar Wai immer ein Stückchen mehr Anklang. Sehr schön.

Serientechnisch vermute ich, dass mir eine Wiedersichtung von Twin Peaks die Serie völlig zur Offenbarung macht. Sie ist der große Bruder meiner Lieblingsserie The Leftovers, und gerade ihre surrealsten Momente sind TL am ähnlichsten, aber damals fand ich es einfach zu lang und teils etwas banal. Inzwischen vermisse ich das Städtchen so sehr, dass ich mir sicher bin, mich über jede geteilte Minute damit mehr zu freuen.

Zuletzt Breaking Bad, das ich zweimal abgebrochen hatte, obwohl es so gut gedreht und gespielt war, weil's mich in der dritten Staffel immer wieder verloren hat. Habe es irgendwann zur vierten geschafft und war dann vollends sprachlos glücklich, das Meisterwerk endlich so richtig zu fühlen.

Filme sind eine große Leidenschaft von mir. Hatte auch mal Pläne (oder naja, eher Träume :D) etwas in die Richtung zu machen bzw. zu studieren.

Jedenfalls sehe ich in meiner Freizeit doch recht viele Filme. Natürlich gibt es da auch Höhen und Tiefen, was meine "Aktivität" und Motivation angeht. Aber so ganz prinzipiell, ja. In den letzten paar Jahren hat sich bei mir eine klare Liebe für Horror, speziell der 70e-r und 80er-Jahre herausgebildet, aber prinzipiell sehe ich mir schon so ziemlich alles an, unabhängig von Genre, Produktionsjahr & -land. Hauptsache es wirkt annähernd interessant auf mich (also eher weniger Mainstream & Blockbuster, auch weniger Modernes, aber nicht prinzipiell ausgeschlossen!). Zu meinen Lieblingsfilmen zählen u.a. "Scream", "Mulholland Drive", "Blade Runner" oder "Chungking Express". Joa.

---

Serien schaue ich eher weniger und ich habe seit 2018 keine (längere) Serie mehr angesehen, einfach weil mich da oft die Motivation mittendrin verlässt und es mir schwerfällt, einigermaßen aktiv dranzubleiben, ohne dass ich die Hälfte wieder vergesse. :D Auch da ist mein Geschmack aber eher "klassischer", zu meinen Lieblingen zählen "Die Sopranos", "Six Feet Under" und "Twin Peaks". Und "Avatar" natürlich! :D

---

Animes sehe ich noch eher als Realserien, aber auch da möchte ich eigentlich viel mehr sehen bzw. so einiges noch nachholen. Nach aktuellem Stand dürfte "Cowboy Bebop" wohl mein Favorit sein. Habe ich auch schon so 2 bzw. 2 1/2 mal gesehen. :D

El amor propio. Varias personas me han contradicho, pero yo personalmente al amor propio le tengo un odio que Pfff. Han normalizado romantizar el amor propio lo cual me parece una cagada porque todo lo que tenga que ver con higiene, mantenimiento y orden es mayormente aburrido, difícil y requiere de voluntad. No es tan lindo como lo creen, está normalizado echarte porras por resultados, resultados, ¿por qué nadie hablo del largo trayecto antes de esos resultados? Ese difícil camino.
Está normalizado usar extranjerismos y pese a que yo mismo los incluyo en mi habla, los odio en su mayoría, porque, Jo, el español es un idioma tan RICO y lleno de palabras impresionantes y hermosas que, ¿por qué introducir palabras en inglés cada siete palabras? Detesto la cultura "woke"; en sí, detesto Toda la cultura pop. Esta semana dos chicas me dijeron "somos twins" y yo... Pues sé lo que es pero igual dije, ¿y eso qué es? Háblame en español, carajo. Es que en sí odio las modas y cuando algo se pone de moda y es un extranjerismo, Pfff, me revienta la bilis. Ser twin, tener crush, gaslightear, estar sad, de verdad, mi gente, ¿qué mierda es eso? Para mí es exactamente lo mismo que en 2010 escuchar a alguien decir: está in, está out, focus...
Yo mismo uso muchos anglicismos, cute, chill, man, hasta hablando del cubo, "soy sub 30 mi pb es un 18 full step y mi main es un Warrior" pero oye, son tecnicismos hablando de algo en concreto, ay no sé... Yo sólo opino que si vas a hablar con palabras en inglés, directamente hables inglés. Es genial hablar como negro. Combinar palabras de idiomas es un poco hartante.
Tal vez sólo soy un anciano amargado, si, amargado sentado en una banquita de algún lugar concurrido lanzándole pan a palomas gordas.

Supongo esperabas otro tipo de respuestas... Perdón. Quiero decirte que gracias por meterme en tus colectivas. 💚
