Day by Day with Otago Lad

Old Morrie

Mrs O and I went for a wee wander through the old Milburn Lime Cement Works today. My Dad worked there a long long time ago and it felt like a nostalgic trip back into my past. That was until we got in there and found that all, or at least most, of the buildings are gone. There is just piles of rubble and lots and lots of broken old car bodies that have been crushed and are just rusting away. Then I saw this lovely old Morris Minor and it was just crying out to be photographed.

It got me thinking.........

Why, among all these crushed cars, is this particular car still intact?

Does the fellow that does the crushing have a soft spot for it?

Does the car understand what awaits it in the crusher?

If cars had a mind would they, after a long and productive life, just park up under a tree and remember better days that have long since passed into history?

Is this car doing this currently......
