A little while back stages 4 and 5 of Coomera Retreat appeared on Google Maps. I was checking out all the surrounding street names and then it clicked, hang on, there are a lot of car names here. It turns out that all the names are either a make of car, or a car related term, or something before the car... like Coach Way.
I had never heard of a Wolseley though, so Wikipedia helped me out, and I discovered the Wolseley Motor Company. Read the Wiki if you want the whole long winded story but the company was formed in 1901, so we're talking old cars! I don't mind the badge though, I could almost picture the badges of the different car makers being used on those big wall style street name signs you see in some estates.
And I will show my age and say I have heard of Wolseley - in fact I think my Dad had one for a while, before I was born of course.
ReplyDeleteCome clean Loz, it was your first car, wasn't it???
ReplyDeleteProbably not such a bad thing to admit to Loz... they were around till 1975 apparently.
