A Grandmother Storybook

.... luckily, when we arrived home, I was able to convince granny to go back to the 60's again.

This time it was a different time machine, it was like the one in the movie "Back to the Future", it had two red buttons that said "Future" and "Past". My grandma pressed the past button, and then she pressed another button, the 60’s. The time machine made some strange noises and we were transported to the past again. When we arrived at the 60’s we were in a E-Type Jaguar, our grandma said that this sport car accelerated to 241km/h. In the street we found a lot of strange cars, they were like rockets. But our grandma told us that these "rockets" were Lamborghini Miura, Porsche 911 and the Ferrari Dino 246GT. Then, when we were in grandma’s house we watched TV. There were a lot of commercials of the Ford Mustang and other cars. Our grandma told us that when the Ford Mustang appeared, it was like a sport car. Then my grandpa arrived in a motor bike, it was really horrible. He said that it was a Vespa, "this motorbike" -started our grandma- "is Italian and in Italy Vespa means "wasp". Italian people called it like this because the exhaust fume made a noise like a bee. Unfortunately we have to return to the present. And finally we are in the present.

No doubt we'll travel again very soon.............. but where?
