I'm trying to figure out what the F that thing is.... looks kinda like a Eunos 500 but with Merc wheels and a Mustang badge on the rear 3/4.... what a dog's breakfast! But they get a pass for repping the Dees haha

While I love this,  I'm not so sure about the Roman column in the background. Hoping I've got my columns correct, I don't think it's a Gothic.

I'm pretty sure I know the fellow who started that. He was a regular instructor and mentor of mine and always had an acronym or two that he would insert into presentations and conversations. I've plagerised a few over the years a favorite being FEAR... F Everything And Run. I hadn't seen him for a while (this is 15yrs ago) and I run into him at a drinking establishment and ask him for his latest acronym and he tells me he has just come back from running a course in Qld and they were all LOMBARDH's (yes pronounced Lombards .. Lots Of Money But Real D Heads

We raised this on our flagstaff at our bowls club last Saturday.  It makes it all the more real for me and I love it.
