some rare footage of OG wheeling his fizzie

Great find Drew and some authentic music to go along with the 'cine footage', performed by 'Austin Fizzog and the sheeps mouth quartet' IIRC,

Loved that Drewps.

I thought of Bell helmets for some reason a third of the way through but it could have been my mates and I who were doing the same things, at the same time, about 15 Miles away.

Excellent vid Drewpy

God" i can picture the clothes still , see how crap the cars were, Heralds " Mark2 cortinas, minors, It was easy to outrun them on our little stokers, Class find drewps

I almost brought an Anglia but my first car was one of these;

singer Vogue! bit like a humber hawk

my first car was a '72 Mk111 Cortina, like this

mum had an Avenger with twin stromberg carbs! like this

Like yours more Drewpy, Mine was a Cortina 1500 mk 1, spent a fortune on it, put new big end shells in it myself only to find it failed its MOT due to knackered steering rack...that was the end of that

Had a Cortina (Mk4) and an Avenger and a Viva and a Corsair and a Triumph mk2 2.5 pi and a Hillman Imp and 2 Austin Maxi's and 2 Mk 1 Escorts (learnt and passed my test in one too). Too many cars to remember to be honest. All run on a shoestring. My favorite was a Citroen Ami. Like this one;

Twin stromberg"s Drewps, , musta been a Holby GLS... I Had countless Viva"s ,Minors, Cortinas, We were hauling engines out every weekend, They were crap. never saw a 1970s car with 100,OOO

Mls on the clock, could change a Viva engine in 2 hrs , knew every nut&bolt,

nah, it weren't a holby although it was a "sport" version.

I used to like those Vauxhall Magnums with the inclined 2.3 litre engines, never had one though!
