barkwindjammer Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Great find Drew and some authentic music to go along with the 'cine footage', performed by 'Austin Fizzog and the sheeps mouth quartet' IIRC, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted March 27, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 27, 2011 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.

Moderator DirtyDT Posted March 29, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 29, 2011 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; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to like those Vauxhall Magnums with the inclined 2.3 litre engines, never had one though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
