What does IIIII equal. That's right. Nothing. It is the incorrect way of writing five in Roman Numerals. Seriously. Who taught you to write. Shame. The correct way of writing five is I+I+I+I+I. Jeez. Get I right.
(It's actually V)

Today, was freezing. Well, by Florida standards. So while, everyone was huddling inside trying to stay warm, I decided to go outside and get the upper limit of my ability on camera. In this video is: 5 club qualify 5 clubs, 15 catches 5 club, 20 catches (almost) 8 ball qualify (I think this is only the 3rd time I have done this cleanly) 9 ball flash (4th one ever)
Israel's Five Club for vintage-car owners
In a country that no longer makes its own cars, about 700 members of the Five Club take great pride in their golden-oldie vehicles.
Tel Aviv resident Joseph Tsur, 80, normally rides buses in the city. But when he needs to go somewhere off the beaten track, he fires up his chocolate-brown 1966 Dodge Dart and heads to the highways and byways. Onlookers regularly cut him off, begging him to sell his classic car.
“I am not kidding, madam,” he tells ISRAEL21c. “Once I was even offered $160,000 in cash for my car. What am I going to do with the money? I don’t need it. I want to leave something to the generations of my grandkids.”
Tsur doesn’t stoke the image that vintage car collectors own a hangar full of hot rods. His parking space in Tel Aviv has room for only one, and one is all he owns.
As the international liaison for the Israeli vintage car club — known locally as theFive Club and more formally as the ICCVC (Israel Classic and Collectors Vehicle Club) — Tsur is happy to talk about the unexpected phenomenon in a country still thought to be using camels for transportation.
Tsur traces the unusual hobby of vintage car collecting in Israel to its once ambitious car industry. Between the 1950s and 1970s, Israelis assembled Studebakers and Fords, as well as Japanese Hino models. And from 1951 to 1981, Israel Autocars manufactured more than 100,000 fiberglass-shelled Sussita, Carmel, Gilboa and Sabra Sport automobiles.
“Just rumor,” he says about the urban legend that the brand’s demise was caused by camels munching on the fiberglass.
