Superb Victorian Theodolyte sounds like the title of an obscure record from 1969 that now sells for £700 on Discogs.
On day two of the trip, wife Liz takes the wheel of the Applause, quickly agreeing with Autocar & Motor's verdict on the car's 'delightful' gearchange. Later the couple go shopping, buying a 'superb Victorian theodolyte', which luckily fits into the Daihatsu's roomy boot.

Fun fact I recently learnt from @webuyrecords.bsky.social - The 1988 Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits (which Hold Me was re-released to promote) was the last album released on 8-track cartridge.
Until a few were released as novelties in recent years anyway. #forgotten80s

I keep meaning to request Hold Me* and I think I even did once but I'm glad I get to hear it anyway. #forgotten80s
*by Fleetwood Mac, I have no intention of requesting the BA Robertson track.

Feels a bit odd to hear the Beach Boys in a Christmas-related advert, they're so often promoted as a summer band. #forgotten80s

Blog update: In February 1986, Andrew Eldritch reached the indie number one spot with a record put out to prohibit Wayne Hussey from using a Sisters of Mercy related band name. Effectively a legal block on 45, it's as dull as reading dense legislation, but the drama behind it; that's another story.

It doesn't really seem necessary, as the performance isn't particularly obscene, apart from how bad it is obviously.
Maybe they wanted to promote the late-night repeat. #TotP

I'm sure the "You should always put your hand in front" from the ABC record was sampled by the Boo Radleys.

Like many I was shocked to hear of Quentin Willson‘s passing & while many will remember his time on Top Gear & Fifth Gear, let’s not forget his excellent ‘The Car’s The Star’ series, which was a neat & considered history of notable cars.
Here’s a particularly good example.
