martc Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Motorcycles: making people happy since 1869 Especially on an Indian 101 Scout. Bye bye, we're going now. But only if you can start it (translate = 'we had a better childhood') And don't drop it (Hammersmith, 1989). Bfg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Well one of the reversing lights is lit, but I think they're being a tad optimistic. 'Who put that stupid barrier there anyway?'. May be best if you stick with the BMXs lads. Skut, Remspoor, adw1977 and 5 others 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Photo finish in the sheep-stakes as two Cornish girls race to the line on their wooly "steeds' . The sheep were bottle fed by them as lambs and cared for by the girls who rode them first for fun and later in agricultural shows. John Drysdale grew up in East Africa acquiring an early interest in both photography and animals. He trained at Guildford School of Art and has worked in photo-reportage, advertising and won numerous awards. But perhaps his most memorable work has been in the field of humour, working with children and animals in real life situations. martc, Dick Longbridge and Bfg 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 'Kommunar Automobile Plant'. Zaporozhye, Ukrainian SSR, 1960, photos by Irina Pap. Better known as ZAZ Zaporozhets; this is their first model, the 965. Despite the low tech and being the cheapest car you could buy, they were very popular and became 'the car for pensioners and intellectuals'. Quite a large number of them were produced in variants for disabled people, with modified steering. bogeyhead, LightBulbFun and RayMK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 A number of car assembly plants were built, including the Todd Motors plant in Petone NZ in 1936. In this photo lifelong employee Norman Thompson drives the 200,000th vehicle off the Petone assembly line in October 1973. By the late 1980s tariffs on imported vehicles had been reduced to a level which enabled them to compete with domestically assembled cars. A growing flood of second-hand Japanese imports led to the demise of local assembly by the end of the 1990s. somewhatfoolish, JeeExEll, RayMK and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
