Vauxhall Viva HC in Chatham, January 72 (52 years ago! oh dear!) Honda CB200 in Henleaze, Bristol, 1977 Always had to do it the odd way round! Cheers, Alan.

Massive Nostalgia trip! I grew up in West Kent and used to travel to London quite a lot as a kid. These were the iconic London Bus. A couple of observations: Some buses had silver grille surrounds, some had red grille surrounds. Some of the grilles were black and some red. The colour alone changes their look a lot. Some colour schemes make the bus look 'old'. They look more modern in the 'Routemasrter Red' Thanks for sharing.

I saw that one as well, many times. I wonder if he/she ever did sell it?

Typical reckless flying by Han Solo!!! Love it! Cheers, Alan.

I suspect that as these kits are made to be put together and taken apart again, they are not Polystyrene. My guess is that they are made of ABS or similar. I believe that Lego bricks are ABS. If you want to paint it, I suggest that you prime it with a grey primer I use Zero-paints grey primer myself, but many here use Halfords grey primer. This will protect the plastic from the solvents in the top colour. Also, only spray thin coats as this also reduces the potential for the solvents to dissolve the plastic. Sorry if I am 'teaching Grandma to suck eggs' Cheers, Alan.

My memory from the 60s is the running riots/punch-ups in Brighton on Bank holidays. Mods and Rockers did not mix, except for those riots... Most of my mates preferred oily old Trumpets and Nortons. One of my friends at school owned a Norton Commando with drop-bars, Ogri style... Still didn't stop then from listening to the Who! (Quadrophenia, anyone?) Cheers, Alan.

Gotta love the white Zephyr 4. My dad had one of those in the mid 60s. Same spec, white with Red interior. Not LHD though. That must be quite rare! Cheers, Alan.

What about C120! A whole 2 hours, if you were lucky enough for it not to get tangled up inside the cassette player! Cheers, Alan.

My dream bike when I was 16! I eventually owned a VF750F in the early 80s. A totally different beast admittedly, but I still hanker after the original CB750... Cheers, Alan.

That was a strange but compelling movie and with an ambiguous ending. Really unusual for a US movie at the time. Cheers, Alan.

That Escort Fiesta reminds me of a Capri pick-up a friend of mine had back in the early 80s. Sorry no pics. No mobile phones for the hoi-poloi in those days.

That Mustang. Not the prettiest. I once had a ride from Toronto to Niagara on the Lake on a 5-litre one of these, back in the late 80s. Not hugely roomy in the back, but OK for the 2-3 hour drive. (I am only 5' 4")

Funnily enough, the chevette and the viva...

That looks truly disgusting! Proportions are all wrong.....

Lovely! Cheers, Alan.
