  1. I think that's a "Two Strokes" special edition. That's a rare thing.
  2. Very nice, I like that a lot, proper1970's look.
  3. It's just ridiculous & the trouble is it gets logged so you can't even move without it coming up on a search. Something needs to change, brainless thoughtless twats shouldn't be able to so easily impact those who just want to live in peace.
  4. Dogs barking. I don't mean just a normal dog barking 'cos it's protecting it's property or owner. I mean the sort of fucktard mutt with a tosser owner that just leaves it outside barking it's bloody head off all the time & does nowt about it.

    Youtube moments

    I'm currently enjoying this guys video's He is also mad keen on Mk4 Zephyr's & Zodiac's so his channel is worth a look if you like those too.
  6. Would've been about 1973 I think. God where does time go to, that's a world ago.
  7. I think (i'm fairly sure) that there was red version of that car & it's the first toy car my mum ever bought me as whining kid to shut me up.. She started something..
  8. Can't ever see any government doing that scheme or anything like it again tbh. 1. Cost, & no matter what any government says about helping folk it'll come back to that. All the infrastructure, development costs etc wouldn't be cheap. 2. Image. Many folk wouldn't just want basic transport now, they'd want something better. Plus there's a stigma attached to a vehicle just for the disabled that people wouldn't want now either. The concept is of its time. That time has passed IMHO.
  9. Time has been very kind to the shape of the Princess, it looks great, probably better than when new.
  10. Gorgous models. I do prefer the wheel style on the Police one, looks better for it. I'd like those on the non Police version.
  11. That Scammell casting is a beauty, it captures the Michelotti cab perfectly.
  12. Seems odd now a car being abandoned in a public place. However when I was a kid n the 1970's I can remember a Viva being abandoned near a Brook nearby & kids me included played on it. Seemed nothing out of the ordinary then.
  13. The blue Corgi XJ12c is Mega. I got one of those in the '70s on holiday in Llandudno. Bloody loved that toy.
  14. Interesting stuff, thanks for that. I know i've said it before but I do think that it was such a great thing for a government to do to provide these vehicles & this whole end to end & as far as I know free facility for the disabled. I know we have Motability etc but that has to be paid for & with all the things around PIP etc being made more difficult these days I doubt any Government would truly take out a scheme like that with all its associated costs & infrastructure. Others may disagree but IMO & whatever your viewpoint on Invacars themselves , the idea behind it all was just somehow utterly good & decent.
  15. Gotta love an old Hoover. My mum had a 1960 Hoover Senior that she bought brand new, for years. It was a bloody beast. Apologies for thread hijack LBF !
  16. That Granada is bloody awesome, proper wheels ( I like that design) & just general crustiness like they had at about 10 years old. Bloody brilliant. I'd forgotten how cool they looked. Earlier Mk2's always looked better than the facelift ones imo.
  17. I remember back in the '80s there was a conversion kit for a convertible Mk10. Can't remember who it was by but the cars were worth nowt then so not sure how many were converted. Might be an option to do a replica model perhaps ?
  18. I really like that. I do think they suit a dark colour.
  19. Oh wow that took me back, I had the black version of that. I also had Luger & Webley type cap guns that I also think were also by Lone Star.
  20. Lovely.. Nice face too..
