Hope Viva will make a short report about what must not be missed in NEC, would be great to have his opinion before going on Friday… Even about Escorts!

I know Clarkson has got previous with the Beeb, but his latest ‘attack’ had me laughing- and rings true also.....

School was 5 miles away and required a 1 mile walk to the main road for the bus, then 3/4 mile walk in town to the school gate! In summer I cycled instead....
Seems Mike H’s tale of squeezing the whole family into a car, regardless of how many seats, has started a trend in Ipswich.... https://www.ipswichstar.co.uk/news/p...cars-1-5843034 |

In my day riding to school was ok but riding from school was a great opportunity to challenge the buses. My bike was a blue Peugeot Gran Tourer, the one with a small front luggage rack and a square headlight -thanks grandma see U there!- may be 10 speed. The heaviest load to carry was my Gaffiot. You can't imagine the weight of a latin dictionary. Yes old buses were rather slow…

Just found the Renault TN6C2 data. Six cylinder, 8 litre and 67 hp at 1 600 rpm. I recall the noisy gearbox, probably straight cut and dog engagement!

Joking apart, many of my trips to and from school were on a Bedford coach like this... Definitely a ‘crash’ gearbox!

My bike was called a Triumph..... and it had a 500cc engine! (I had a Honda 50 for a month for passing my test but never took it to school) Too ashamed to park it next to my friends AJS and Matchless in the school bike shed!) The heaviest thing I carried was my Fathers old briefcase with a few papers/homework, Autosport / Motoring News on a Thursday and my sandwiches in it. Strapped to the racing seat behind me.

Elders,who classes as one of those? Mm I see this forum needs a cleansing or something,get out the rotten egg 😁. I'm on this forum purely so I can keep up to date wih historics,socialise and to better my chances of getting experience in the World of work,whatever that is..! Which have been quite good so far. Left college early.Felt a pain/ache in my left arm like it was in the bone.Not nice... when listening to a tutor for a hour. As my dad would say 'am I a snowflake'. Anyway got assignment to do.I might put some questions on here,just for a laugh. |

Merci beaucoup Lanc'svery kind of you. I can't explain why but placed several pre-paid orders on DT website and got nothing but refund after a while. A real pity because the catalogue is a pure phantasm!
Do you all use Aerocatch? Nice looking but pain in the neck to instal… |

Wait a bit, E.B, its a matter of minutes and Mike H will be back with the end of his panty story! I'm a follower, ya no
At the age of 16, we had what we called motorbikes too. Mainly they were Yamaha 100 Twinjet (remember the sound of this insect?) and a lot of 125 Hondas, single carb and pressed steel frame. Not very sexy. Mine was a special import a rare 125 SS, running on twin carbs and having a real frame coming from Germany with an ugly rear mudguard. Few brakes too. We didn't have any official importer so had to make a deal with the recognized ones. Very happy days! Last edited by Gerard C; 8 Jan 2019 at 15:49. |
