Dunno how we got from Headrests to pills,but no matter anything is possible with this lot,ozwildflower welcome to the group,like your avatar, do you only have one standard or more,great dog's.

You must have one great head of hair,when wearing it up you say your looking at the floor,wow, you could go down the Hilda look from Hogans Hero's and do a bun either side,problem solved,I would never make a suggestion like Rusty's,I get peeved when My Missus offers to cut my hair off all the time.

It's only a small leap, Grumpy - or seems so, anyway.  I have 2 standards at the moment and yes, they really are great dogs.

Oh Lordy! I don't think the Hilda look would suit me at all - would be funny though.  I have now had it thinned out a bit and that helps too.

Your as old as you feel(no won't continue with that thought  :whistler: ) yes we never used to miss Hogan's Hero's,used to race home from school so we wouldn't miss it, had a bit of a crush on Hilda.

Yes we sit around sometimes reminiscing about some of the older shows and the younger crowd just look at us with blank stares,used to love all the older cartoons,what they call cartoons today are just garbage to my way of thinking

just so you don't forget "It's called Alzheimer's Dazz"

You can't tell me you didn't watch Hogans Heros,Homocide,Cop Shop,The Sullivans they were all big show's when we were kids, milk in little triangle cartoons at school which changed from the small glass bottles with the aluminium lids because they in the end were considered a danger to us kids.

I remember the milk and the names of most of those shows. But only watched Homicide, The Sullivans, Green Acres and Bugs Bunny... some of the others didn't really appeal. :winker:

I still prefer to go back a little further (showing my age) to Mickey and Annette.  Now there was a great substitute for a headrest.  Perhaps vehicle designers could learn a thing or two from nature.

Not a good idea, if you had a headrest shaped like that you'd relish in the thought, close your eyes, then die...... Not a bad way to go actually, on second thoughts.

Annette as a headrest? Sounds dangerous given I'd be facing the wrong way!  :wink:

Yes, after al it is a head RESTRAINT for rear crash impact protection rather than somewhere to rest your weary head while driving  :whistler:

Yes i sat in a friends old desoto ( like a Dodge ) it was built as a race car & does the standing quarter mile or 400 meters in 9 seconds @ 150mph so zero to 230KPH in 9 seconds. well the head restraint was pushing my head forward & down a bit and i have short hair. the car was fitted with full roll cadge so that could have been part of reason too. but the head restraint stops whiplash injuries also this old car fully registered he was driving it the day i sat in it. but for many years i drove cars with no head restraint much nicer driving without a head restraint. the FD i30 adjust a bit if you push the rear of the restraint forward it will go back more but would not help with your hair up so i simpithise with you. i would just remove the head restraint
another opption is buy a Recaro seat. would be the best part of the whole car, but cheaper than buying a new car.

Hyundai came up with a "fix" for this..... :goodjob:

(click to show/hide)

Thanks for that Rustynutz. I tried this "fix" but the rods for the head restraint are solid metal and just blunted my scissors so I decided it wasn't a good idea.
