Old cars

I was restless at home, and thus thought I would walk around the property a bit. So, I took a few shots of The Lady's family's cars.

The Lady's family -- for whatever reason -- has a tendency to drive old Rovers. Her brother and his wife, who live next door each drive a Rover of a similar body type to the one GG and The Lady drive, as does The Lady's father, and Next-Door Uncle as well. Oddly, they are all either white, or a shade of green (of which GG approves!).

To the right is the car The Lady and GG drive. Behind is, under the carport, is The Lady's mother's car: you can't see it well, but it's a large, heavy hatchback with a sporty look.

The Lady's parents also have a few older Rovers in their back yard. I'm not sure why they have them there -- perhaps for eventual spare parts? However, they no longer match any of the cars they currently drive. The Lady says that back when her brother was in college, he started to restore one of them, but then ran out of time. However, Next-Door Uncle restores cars as a hobby, as is now retired -- so perhaps he will assist The Lady's brother (mostly by providing knowledge and tools).

This is an example of one of the older Rovers in the back yard. There used to be three, but aproximiately a month ago, The Lady's brother, GG and myself helped drag the car into the brother's back yard. He hopes to eventually convene all three cars there. And then? Who knows.
