Quadrophenia was released in 79 which sparked a renewed interest in scooters. The fact the Jet in the photo above was untaxed by 86 suggests the new wave of enthusiasm had partly ebbed away by that point. georgeinabz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Different bronze, and 295 didn't have a vinyl roof. It actually reminded me of driving my Cyprus one, not least the time I did a Sweeney dash to Paphos Hospital with MrsR, resulting in her staying there almost three weeks.

martc Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 19 hours ago, egg said: A still from the instructional video series 'How to Woolard' available from all good Video Rental shops (and some bad ones). The open bonnet shows that this is from the red hot x-rated 'How to Woolard, Under the Covers' episode. Note the right leg is starting to be raised, prior to placing on the bumper, and the right hand is being correctly used to support the weight.
