In appreciation of golden oldies

FOR the longest time, Dad always had a classic car. From rides to school, outings with the dog or popping out for kopi, he always believed in "getting out and driving", versus parking and polishing.

This hasn't changed much even if the cars have, and these days, it is my daughter who has also grown to look forward to her classic car rides with Gramps, not just to and from school, but to just about everywhere else.

On these golden car rides, it was partly about the car and the destination, but more importantly, it was our journey together, as well as the sense of fellowship and family ties that continued to resonate with us long after each trip was over.
