Ghetto BlasterWog box.....as beloved by the youth of the 80/90s.

Still got mine and it resides in my garage where I can blast out my old U2, Simple Minds and INXS tapes to my hearts content!  ;D

Do you have a large dent in your shoulder where it rested? :)

During this last week, every single news channel has been treating him as though he were the Messiah, and seemingly hoping he was about to announce his second coming. Its beyond belief how deluded these people are !

Directional indicator arms that came out like an arm.

Hand signals

Blue exhaust smoke from so many vehicles

Rust Holes all over cars bodywork

Full bench seats front as well as back

No seat belts

Chrome trim all over.

Cars with American styling and wings

Thick tar being spread from the back of a lorry, then grit racked over the top - oh, the lovely smell 8)

Petrol station attendants filling your car with petrol and checking the oil

Petrol and oil only sold in gallons

Policemen on point duty with checkered bracelets around their coat sleeves

Bells on emergency vehicles ringing when on a 999 - wonderful as a child 8)

Fire engines with ladders having big wheels on the end of them

Double de-clutching

Chokes

Cross-ply  tyres

Drum brakes all round

No power steering so big steering wheels

Cigarette ash and stubs spilling out of the ash trays and all over the interior

Male drivers smoking pipes

Stick on rear screen heater de-misters

Roof racks

Nodding dogs

Tax discs

Spare wheel on the boot lid

Many people going to the pub and driving when well over a limit that didn’t then exist

Side valve engines

Tappets

Small red covered licence book

........just so much that has gone into history!


 ;D ;D :)

Rover 2000/2200/3500 comes to mind from my youth.
