i've been taking a few pics on my mobile phone camera when driving to work in the mornings - don't worry, i've generally been doing this SAFELY, usually when stopped at lights, etc.

the other day i saw a black car driving quite quickly up ahead of me. at first i was wondering was it a legendary "holden sandman" station wagon from the 1970s? one of those vehicles with the curious nick-name of the "shaggin' wagon"!

i caught up with it at a t-junction, and took the pic below.

i actually now think it is probably a ex-hearse .... that's right, a vehicle that used to carry coffins - coffins with bodies in them - around, to & from funerals, graveyards, crematoria, etc. what do u think?



the driver was wearing what looked like an interesting funky little hat, and after it turned left onto the next street it took at at considerable speed up the hill & into the distance ... late for an appointment?
