The end of a media studies year at a basic college for juvenile reprobates...aged 19...armed with a Canon A1...probably on auto...wandering the streets of Edinburgh looking at mainly flash new shite...

So thats Edinburgh..next...

[fotorabia]

My first Glastonbury...

 

 

 

Taking photos of roadkill whilst hitching down..my ultimate image..a truck full of steaming offal n bones...

 

[trigger]

Those are excellent!, I forgot how much nicer photos were in pre-DSLR days.

 

Considering a few of those cars wouldn't have been very old back then they still looked surprisingly tatty.

[cort16]

Great pictures! The centre of Edinburger's not changed much.

[fotorabia]

Ta lads...and funnily enough..im still taking images on Edinburgh streets...except just all the rotten shite now..

[brickwall]

Great spots from yesteryear!!! I loved driving around the wet cobbled streets in Edinburgh  and getting that lovely "brrrrrrrrrrrr" sound or cornering to making the tyres squeal

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Holy cow those are top-notch!!!! Love it

[fotorabia]

Technical Note: I Only had a 28mm wide angle...then a 70-210mm zoom lenses...no mid range...I got the camera body as a present in 1985...then had to work 2 weeks over Easter planting tree's to buy the lenses!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

The street shots remind me of 'Shallow Grave'

[fotorabia]

'Shallow Grave' was filmed on Nth East Circus Place..my aunt n uncle owned No.2.[Now wurf a million squid]...The Spitfire  [the plate is on a MX5 now] was my aunts..and The Sirocco was my uncles..

Tip top shots there, the God Squad bus is ace. We used to have a similar Bible Bus in for servicing B745JFS belonging to Blackburn Gospel hall. By 1996 it was rotten as a pear.

[Cavcraft]

I love that GS/phone box/post box shot.

[JohnDeere]

I love that GS/phone box/post box shot.

 

Yes, the GS(A) pic is great - with the colour matching and the cobble stones - it looks almost like a brochure shot

[vulgalour]

This is one of the best threads to appear on Autoshite in quite some time.

[cort16]

That Porsche 928 in white just looks so right. I bet you had to have some serious coin to get one of these straight out the dealership. I checked the plate and it seems like it's gone off the grid

[cort16]

I nicked these ones of Edinburgh off this very good facebook page.

[Jim Bergerac]

Top Threading . Is the Traction Avant parked on Buccleuch Street? Hasn't changed a bit in the past twenty-odd years.

[Faker]

These are Brilliant!!!  I love the fact a drunkard made the Manta numberplate...

 

Also that Panda to the right has an 'Abarth Accessory' bumper that was available for the MK1.

 

There's a surviving MK 1 equiped with said bumper...(facebook image link so may not work)
