What was UK No.1 when your shite was new?

[catsinthewelder]

Austin 1100 Registered 1st of May 1972 Royal Scots Dragoon Guards "Amazing Grace"

 

VW T2 approx date of first use 14th September 1974 The Osmonds "Love Me for a Reason"

 

Registered in UK 19th December 1988 Robin Beck "First Time"

 

Citroen Bx Registered 7th August 1991 Bryan Adams "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You"

 

Yamaha SR125 Registered 28th September 1994 Whigfield "Saturday Night"

 

 

Tis all a bit disappointing really, I try to keep the green new keepers slips from all my vehicles so I checked them and the highlight was Shaggy from my old Megane. Our lass can remember the registration date from her first car, a 1970 Bug so we checked that, Jimi Hendrix with Voodoo Child

 

Great thread

Let's have a look then, Well start with the newest,

 

Mondeo 1/2/05: Elvis Presley - It's Now Or Never released version, Not bad...

 

Golf 16/11/94: Pato Banton - Baby Come Back, Classy! I used to love this song, "and me cd collection of Bob Marley"

 

Kadett 10/11/72: Gilbert O'Sullivan - Clair, FACT i went out with a girl called Clair who was named after this song, her 20th birthday party involved her parents singing this song too her with everyone watching, it was a bit cringe worthy TBH.

Bit Jealous, Nicola's 306, D.O.R 31 10 1995,

Fucking Hell.

[RoadworkUK]

DP! I'm all emotional now, I just looked up my previous Rover.

 

Found that it was registered on Nicolas second birthday.

 

And as if to cement my relationship with 800s from that point on, number one was Glenn Medeiros "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You".

 

How bittersweet!

[outlaw118]

Some really classic/shite tunes here!

 

Here are mine now I've had time to look them up:

(Build date is 15 02 82: The Jam - "Town Called Malice"/"Precious")

 

BX (soon going to Scooters): 20 02 91 = The Simpsons - "Do the Bartman"

(Build date is 08 11 90: The Righteous Brothers - "Unchained Melody" )

 

Megane: 19 04 97 = R. Kelly - "I Believe I Can Fly"

 

Old scrapped BX: 02 08 91 = (predictably...) Bryan Adams "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)"

 

Previous GSA C-Matic: 01 11 80 = Barbara Streisland "Woman in Love"
