It’s weird…

Can we create an ancient car appreciation thread somewhere else maybe?

They are only ancient cars to you Em. The rest of us remember them well.
 
A friend had a 124 as her first car. Lovely to drive, but the electrics were diabolical.

The subsequent sedan model, the 131, called the "Brava" in the US, was worse. Weakness was the grounding points for everything. Tiniest bit of moisture and whatever was attached would act up. Bravas were great on the race track, though! You could really throw 'em around!

Oh? This is my one and only opportunity to talk about having sex in an X-1/9. (Small. Tiny 2-seater. One false move and she and the shifter would become good friends.)

There was a joke going around years ago about cars being built in the EU. English mechanicals, Italian electrics, German design, French build quality and all managed by the Belgians.

Gear shifters going where they weren't designed is a whole sub-genre in insertion porn. Takes "I love my car" to a whole new level.

- See Em, we're back on topic of Weird. Sort of...
 
Through the years I've run across "autoerotica" being used in the context of fast cars+sex in the general press. Typically articles with lots of pictures of exotic cars posed with scantily-clad ladies.

But, yes, it was a good pun, Em. I got it.

As far as thread drift, I operate under the notion it's SOP that after about the middle of the second forum page, anything goes.
 
…I’m not actively writing anything.

I have a bunch of things that range from partly complete to vague ideas, but nothing I’m actually writing.

Hasn’t been like that since I embarked on Determination I think.

Not sure what I feel about it TBH. Relief? Bereft? Bit of both?

Em
So back to the beginning, a very good place to start. You can't always "keep cranking them out," as somebody said above. I'm being nosy, but you've got something else (besides writing) that you'd like to do for a while?
 
I just went through a weeks long ebb where a story thread was left hanging; waiting to be resumed. Now, my muse seems to have returned. Perhaps it was because the plot had to get over a hump, to get to a more interesting part of the story. (yes, more sex.)

Did you ever try this yourself or is it just a favorite fantasy?
