All I can see in my head, is Bet Lynch crashed out on the floor of the Trainspotting drugs den.
Im still waiting on the Whizz Kid fuel pump, but not sure how much I actually want to drive it as the state of those seats is a tad off-putting! I need to get creative, and that doesnt mean putting the furry tiger skin back on!

I know they're now worth a quarter of a million pounds, but a 1977 episode of Last of the summer wine has reminded me that the parcel 'shelf' on MK2 Escorts was cheap, nasty and useless.
Also, cars then needed their entire lowers painting/ under sealing black at 3 years old.

Just bumped into a member of the old dog walking gang outside his house, and he's managed to buy back the Capri (now restored) he had to sell ~10yrs ago.
A regular guy that works in a supermarket, and the absolute joy on his face and in his speech is what it's really all about. So chuffed for him!

Remember that period when Natalie Imbruglia's (Beth off of Neighbours) song 'Torn' was every third song on the radio?

It's now over 10 years since the final tax discs expired, but you still see them, don't you?

Join me on 6th November 1997.
My Mars Bar is getting dated, but Urban Hymns is new.
I'm also picking up a brand new Corsa Trip, but trading in my Peugeot 205 Zest.
The below base, 45bhp, FM radio only Corsa is going to feel instantly dreadful in comparison.

Very fleeting glance of an Alfa Romeo Milano (75) in my wife's favourite series, Moonlighting- now available on STV to stream.
She loved me winding it back, twice, to make sure.

The Wolfrace slots and BBS alloys look good and are James Bond rims, but these s2 wheels definitely look the meanest.

Fiat's smiling because he's had his winter Super Resin wax this morning, and I'm smiling because the Alfa 33 has got a clean ticket, this afternoon, to take him to his 33rd birthday, next summer, and beyond.

Max Power in Albert Square Classic 'enders 2009.
Whilst I've always been partial to a saucy back box etc, I'm glad I was born too early to appreciate this scene tbh.
