Ding ding ding! Dad b1930 lived in Links Rd, WW with his mum and 2 brothers. Mum b1929 lived in Pickhurst Lane Hayes, her dad bought as a new build (still have the invoice, somewhere). Direct route, even in a feeble Riley 2 str

I know the area well, I went to the Pickhurst Primary and Junior schools. We lived in The Crescent off Goodhart Way.

I have the badge of the Eden Park 100 Motor Club on my DS. Unfortunately the club was disbanded in the late 1960s. A bunch of ex members still get together three or four times a year for a lunch meeting although I think I am the only one still interested in cars of the era.

Parents moved from a Forest Hill flat  to Coney Hall semi. I went to juniors there before they whisked us sarf to Heathfield. Remember the toy shop bottom of Hayes high st and bakers halfway up same side?

When your girl jumps out of a tree make sure you catch her before she lands on the car.

Edit to say I just clocked the studded tyres!

Alf thought he ought to give Mormonism a go and bagged himself 5 wives. Here they are about to go on holiday in France, where morals are slacker, according to Alfs mate Bert down at The Red Lion.

Alf died from physical exhaustion 4 days later.

They've lost something. It's either gone underneath, or that shitehawk has flown off with it.

I had one of these Puchs; it was the first geared bike I had. It could keep up with Fizzies* and the like, but was cheaper to insure as it was technically a step through, a real Q bike.

(*normal Fizzies, not the ones from fever dreams)

A VAZ-2101 (aka Lada) and Moskvich-2140SL with MMZ-81021 trailers. I guess they didn't do an orange one.

This is actually a photo shoot for rainwear. Note the chap at the far end of the Mews looking on.

Obviously a UK car but with an obscured Italian plate, what's going on?
