Top shots as ever Vin... very interesting from a railway perspective.

 

[train bore] interesting too see a Castle class going so far north to get chopped up (unless the scrapyard was darn sath[/train bore]

 

I love the "that'll do" attitiude to the pullman carriages, trailers not short enough but some rail should make up the difference... It's funny how the 20s pullmans were withdrawn and binned only to reappear when their successors in the Blue Pullman barely made a decade before they become gilettes finest.

 

Those Wynns units are beastly.

 

The film just specifies the loco line up as Carlisle. The other scrapyard and gas-axing shots were probably eleswhere - Swindon maybe....

 

I always thought the Wynns Pacifics were fantastic things.

 

What makes them interesting to me is, that like the Diamond Ts that Wynns used, the Pacifics were also ex-WW2 hardware, but Wynns had to do a lot more work to 'civilianise' them.

Was that an 'Estafette' then...???

 

 

Another 'Look at life' update. I actually got halfway through posting this last Friday, when Firefox crashed :x So I walked away...

 

Anyway, 'Taxi! Taxi!!' is dated March 1960. It looks at the world of the London Taxi.

 

This chap was 75 years old. He started on an Hansom cab but was now in the FX4 pictured.

When I first met Domestic Management, she was teaching at a primary school in Bourne End and lodging with the family of a local sculptor/woodcarver. At the time, the red lion in the pic was in Colin's workshop for repair & restoration; I have patted its head... :mrgreen:

Another update. I'll leave 'Look at Life' for the moment while I work out which of those I haven't done have good old car content.

 

This update is a bit more recent, 1984 to be precise. I'm a big fan of Bill Forsyth films and my copy of 'Comfort and Joy' is ripe for the screengrab treatment.

 

The film stars the always excellent Bill Paterson, as a DJ on local Glasgow radio, who gets caught up in an ice-cream war between two rival Italian families. As well as a good share of old motors, there are lots of shots with sweets and goodies in the background. I thought they'd be of interest so I've included them. And shots of Clare Grogan. Looking lovely. :D

Bit of motorway at dusk. The 3-series Baur convertible belongs to Bill Paterson's character.

Of course I do... :lol: By then they were overlapping rather a lot, and I think the Carina eventually killed off the Corona, just as Corona saw off Cressida. Families, who'd have 'em?

The fact that Tayne has produced a 'Hirst family tree' has made me pleased that I asked an innocent question, about a Japanese car ... :lol::lol: I love AS :D:D

:lol: I realised that Tayne, I should have said posted rather than produced. The work of Hirst is always good to see.

 

This is update is another from 1984. ‘The Chain’ is a film all about removal men and the joys of moving house.

 

It’s funny and has a great cast. Lots of shite in it too. Including quite a bit of Sherpa action.

Bernard Hill is a member of a cast that also includes other great character actors such as Warren Mitchell, Maurice Denham, Nigel Hawthorne, Anna Massey, Denis Lawson, Leo McKern and Billie Whitelaw, to name a few... :D

Scene tax isn't a new thing then.

 

 

Even though I've grabbed it and posted it, I've just noticed 'Colindale' on the Polo at the back :shock:

 

The late Mama Vin once had a Polo (A534 GLX) that originated from Colindale VW. It was written off in Scunthorpe in 1998 :( The 'Colindale' moikered rear number plate is on my garage wall. I've also still got the service history for it, as well as all the original Colindale headed purchase documents including a business card for a Peter Godwin. (Why have I kept all this :?::?: .... :lol::lol: )

 

As regards this image with the split screen VW...

 

vlcsnap-2012-02-25-15h19m05s43.png

 

I've been on the site - 'Reel Sreets' and it has an entry for 'The Chain'

 

Here; http://www.reelstreets.com/index.php?op ... itstart=50

 

And it comes up with an image from Google Streetview with a lot of beetles and a split screen camper parked on the road. The funeral director is still there and there is a garage behind that deals in air-cooled Volkswagens (I don't know how to do a streetview screen grab, but the garage yard is stacked with Beetle spares)...Maybe it dealt with them in 1984 as well :D .

By coincidence this next update also has Bernard Hill in. The grabs are from the the 1986 film ‘Bellman & True’.

 

I first saw this film many moons ago and is up there in my favourites. A good British drama about a gang who use computers and a programmer to crack codes, mess with CCTV and balls up alarm systems in order to rob a bank.

 

It has a great getaway car chase too.

Combine and truck pervs will like this one…

 

This update is from an episode from the BBC documentary series ‘The world about us’

 

‘Yellow Trail from Texas’ was first broadcast in February 1976.

 

It follows Dale Starks and his team of ‘custom cutters’. With nine combine harvesters they travel northwards, farm to farm, from Texas up to Saskatchewan in Canada over a seven month period.

At times, the wives would take over driving, to give their husbands a rest, or just to releave the boredom.

Some great screen grabs thanks for posting them , the one posted on 6/11/11 7.02pm ' Give your car a Holiday' pic 7 has caused excitement among British Rail road vehIcle afficianadoes as it shows through the window a British Rail minivan in green with full serial number showing. This is the first one ever seen as a far as I know , many thought BR had no mini vans ( despite the diecast modelmakers making a few in yellow livery) .

Time for another update.

 

These grabs are from ‘Tutti Frutti’, the ace comedy drama from 1987 starring Robbie Coltrane, Emma Thompson & Richard Wilson.

 

Although recorded on film, a couple of the episodes were recorded on videotape, so there is a noticeable difference in some of the grabs.

Superb! Thanks for that Vin, I watched 'Tutti Frutti' relegiously when it was first screened and it was top quality, Emma Thompson was rather lovely at that time :D and anything with Big Robbie in is good....
