I take consolation from the slogan I saw on a tee shirt - “I may be old but at least I saw all the best bands” He bought it from new and drove it until he died. Never went on the Motorway. He always pulled away in Second gear as there was no Syncromesh between first and second. The car was in show room condition until the end. My highlight as a child was indicators that flipped out from the door pillar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also started out with a popsicle purple Yam FS1E. Put a Mk3 Spit engine in one Herald, and it was pretty quick. Wish I kept the Cooper and the Fizz. A decent fizzy is worth upwards of £5,000. but I have seen them on sale if they still have the pedals and in mint condition for £10,000. If only we knew then what we know now.

Then got a 1600E. Found out it was 2 cars welded together. Pulled away sharpish from the lights at the top of Winterstoke Road and the drivers seat fixing bolts came away and I ended up on the back seat, frantically scrambling back to try and stop the car from going into the boozer opposite. They don't make 'em like that anymore! Prior to that had a Garelli Tiger Cross. My dad worked at Rolls Royce and re-bored the piston, it went like shit off a shovel. That got nicked from Filton Technical College the day I put a Gert big chain on it for security. FTG Those Garellis are like rocking horse doo doos nowadays...fetch even more than fizzers. Bought by middle aged blokes trying to relive their youth, but with an extra five stone on board! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only we knew then what we know now. I think I practically gave mine away in 1983, but then nobody wanted them. Checked on DVLA website and KDD 78P last taxed in 1984, so almost certainly ended up as razor blades 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Med/MadHatter Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 13 hours ago, bcfc01 said: Don't forget Hillman, my old man had a Husky followed by a Super Minx - had a hell of a kick back when starting it on the crank handle. And Triumph, I had a Dolomite Sprint and followed that up with a Stag - both blew head gaskets twice. Loved both of them though. But the love of my life was my first motor, a Lambretta Li150 which got me and my Mrs to Weymouth and back on many occasions. Back on topic, that memorial "stadium" looks like a tinpot shower of shite which belongs a few tiers down in the football pyramid. Its shockingly bad for a football league club. How much is a bit of paint FFS. Aaaahh! Those were the days! Forgot all about the kick back from the cranking handle :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember being relegated to Non League was a good thing for them apparently. Weirdo’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
