Things that remind you of random, unrelated things

Pardon the clumsy thread title, but I can't think of any other day to express the condition by which every time I see the front end of an Austin 1800 "Landcrab", I think of Cliff Michelmore.

Why is that? And are there other examples of this madness to relate?

If I see a helipad or a specific shape of gantry I am reminded of the football pitch in the estate I grew up in, and how we'd stuff itchycoos down each other's backs and throw crab apples at each other.

There is literally no connection between helipads/gantries and that place (which no longer exists) outside of my shonky temporal lobe.
My favourite entry in my seizure diary reads simply: "crystal squirrel train". I have no idea what this means, but it made sense when I wrote it down.

I have so many random thoughts I don't think any of them are triggered by memory. Just insanity?

In fact... Whenever I see an early Austin 3 Litre, the impression is even stronger...
