Eddie/Ratdat told me he's got a R16TS as it's was the first car he could remember having, my parents also had a R16TS in white called 'Fifi' so I went on a search for old pics to see if I could trace it - no luck so far but I did come across these (don't know if anyone is interested in them to be honest! )

The Green Dragon Pub on Broadgate, Lincoln c1980

 

I have found a load of slides with amazing tat in the back ground (again early/mid 80's), but I've had no joy scanning slides in as yet.

Quality. period pics are even better when you know the place and how it looks now. What's that red car in the second pic... HB Viva estate?

Only 2 doors, and that looooooong side window says HB to me!

Looks like a Viva hb estate parked behind a Datsun 120y coupe/hatchback.

These pictures are a 30second walk from where I work, I did think about replicating the pics.

When I used to stay with my Grandparents during my Eighties summer hols, Me and my Grandad would often go 'up town' have a look round the shops. He'd buy me an Airfix kit, we'd have a coffee, go visit all his ex-Caretaker colleauges in the basement of the College and then we would go to the Green Dragon, so he could have a lunchtime pint. Coke and crisps for me. Happy days In fact next time I go see him I'll make a point of taking him 'up town' for a pint in the Green Dragon.Nice pics.
