OMGDRIFTYO Sierra into the carpark, narrowly missing the newborn-baby-poo green Cortina. Yellow Escort now worth more than all the retail and housing property behind combined.

I live just up this road:

gb.3.472000.150000.1.1986.jpg

It has barely changed in 25 years, most of the buildings are the same colour too.

And my Mum is from Aberfeldy, I go there most years, the Square has barely changed too, the parking has probably got a tad more accessable.

And I lived near here, 5 years later:

Bexleyheath Broadway, such a misnomer. I remember those Leyland Titans very well, the 401 went down my narrow road all the time, they probably hit so many car mirrors.

Ryan's Garage is situated in Mundell

Street in South Moor...

 

Bizarre co-incidence today, about an hour after I posted that Mr Ryan's grandson Eric came to see me at my garage to see if I had a radio to fit the TR6 he is fixing up.

 

All the local photos are of stuff that hasn't changed, and there are no cars in shot.

Been quiet this morning, so I've been able to have a good trawl through the site.

Here are a number of the random images that caught my eye...

Subaru definitely, one of these:

Subaru 1600DL Estate by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr

 

Looks like a lot of fun to be had with that site. I don’t really remember it myself, but I did leave school that year so maybe missed it in the midst of exams, getting a job etc.

Cabstar!

A very meaningful shot for me. A134 road into Sudbury, on which they built a roundabout here in conjunction with forming a bypass around town. Former Howlett’s Datsun/Nissan dealership on the left. Old factory on the right now gone, replaced by McD’s, Halfords etc retail development. There’s now a big petfood factory on the grassed area on the left.

A later Subaru at the Campsea Ashe saleground.

Real quote this time

 

This shows the large amount of land needed at a motorway junction to ensure smooth flow

 

gb.3.508000.213000.2.1986.jpg

 

That's the M1 Junction 10. Recently dug up massively all over and widened signifcantly (5 lanes up the hill). To ensure smooth flow.
