My aunt and uncle's split screen vw camper. Think this was taken in Wales sometime in the early 70s.

A young JYD with my Aunt and uncle's old VW Camper. I say old,I think it was 12 years old at the time,think I was about 10,taken in Fishguard around 1982ish.

That's interesting. Thank you. It was sold after it blew up its engine when they were in Ireland, it got fitted with a used engine from a vw main dealer so they could get home,but I think they lost confidence in it at that stage.

Looking through my late great Aunt and uncle's old slides I found these two that I got quite excited about. The VW Camper was a faithful servant for many many years,it replaced a split screen version sometime in the early 70's until it was replaced in 1987 by a newer version. I have a lot of happy memories of this old van The Capri belonged to another family members partner,I remember as a small boy of being very impressed by it. Probably both long since gone now.

That was never ever an acceptable way to dress! 🤣

Me too,that's a nice car.

Not Escort. That one is Hillman hunter based.

😂 Maybe sometime in the future it will cross the Irish sea?

Yes,I knew of a garage that would tip a bucket of water onto the carpets before welding commenced. A watering can can be useful too,as it could be poured more accurately onto anything that maybe smouldering. A 2 litre plastic pop bottle with a small hole in the lid is good too. Best of luck with the welding.

You taking the Carina to Ireland?

Not just N.I,I'm in England at the moment and stuff is gone very expensive here.

I was lucky enough to find one at a boot sale a few years back. Spring was easy enough to get in place and use,but it is incredibly noisy.

Fantastic find!

Giving it a good clean should help boost the mojo a bit.

Mk1 Golf,preferably a diesel.

One vastly over priced tyre. Still,at least it's fixed now. Could have been a lot worse. Everything is really going against me lately, my mental health is taking a battering.

Just made complete shit of a tyre in rural north Norfolk, a complete bell end in a Peugeot wouldn't pull in to give me room(he had plenty of space)and I clipped my left front wheel off a piece of flint rock in the hedgerow. Less than a year old Avon with a big hole in the sidewall. Found a place called ATS,that had ONE hankook tyre in the correct size in stock. £120!!! Fuck me I only want one. Too busy to fit it now sir,come back tomorrow. Managed to get him to do it for 5pm this evening. Every fucking thing is so expensive in this county.

Sticker from the whoosh n push.

Agreed,the mk1 grille looks awful on it. I'm beginning to think of binky as a journey rather than the destination.,the concept and the packaging are fantastic, but the finished product leaves me feeling a bit meh!

Is it? They converted the hubs from 5 stud Toyota to a 4 stud Ford pcd.

I still do.

I'd like number 108. Toyota Corolla coupe.😎

My current car was the most expensive I ever paid for one. €11,700!! The car in question was a then 3 year old 2008 Ford Mondeo zetec estate,2.0 diesel. Sold my 2001 Celica for 2,700,so the Mondeo was then costing me €9k. Ten years later I still own it.

To be fair,I wouldn't fancy trying to tackle those rusty fixings either😂 At least the cunts didn't get it.

Fuel shortages? Great,just as I'm driving to the UK for two weeks. 🙄
