Mopars at.... Mill Hill?

Post by RobTwin »

Some oldies from 85 & 86, taken in Mill Hill, north west London, where we woz brung up.

Gatecrashed a Mustang meet at a village hall off Totteridge Lane (posh bit of Mill Hill), spring '86 I think, and stole the shown in their evening disco with our moshing to Billy Idol and the like, while they all sat around sipping their shandies....

Thats fair do's Dunc. When I first got my car, I took it down to my brothers village (more of a Hamlet really). When I left his place I tore down the road, and everyone always said that my car was LOUD. I turned round and came roaring back at the same pace and you could hear the crackling echoing accross the fields either side when I lifted off. My brothers neighbours told HIM to tell ME not to bring the car down there again or they would contact the Police.

So you know what, I stopped outside the biggest moaners house and left too big black lines and loads of tyre smoke. If I had had more room I would have spelled the word "Miserable Knobber" in rubber on the road.

Maybe that was going a bit too far.

Only got to do it once cos engine went pop not long after that :cry:


Anyway, back on thread.

Any more pics twins???

Spose you just gotta wish for deaf neighbours Dunc...

Maybe I'm gettin old or just a bit Victor Meldrew .... but
I'd be quite happy if someone wanted to repeat that outside my house now, if it were in a cuda or similar, but as soon as some spotty chav on one of them pesky scooters starts buzzin around here thinking they're Francis, sorry, Valentino Rossi or summat, I find I'm wishing him/her all sorts of misfortune out on the open road :x
Rather have your Challenger next door Dunc anytime :thumbright:

Clivey, still lots more scanage to be done, workin my way thru me old pics.
Watch out for '87 next !!

Actually Sandy, I'm surprised I only took a few pics of the mopars (I remember there being more than the 3 I got pics of), let alone more of the Mussies.
If it were now, I'd most likely take a few more, as I'm partial to a bit of 69 :shock: , ahem, Mustang, that is....... :oops:

I was at that mustang meet,went with a mate in his '72 'vert met blue with white top. We parked facing the cars in the pics. At that time a guy had a Charger in our town,he was meant to come with us. If I remember right the Charger was a '68 BB car in a very pale green/yellow

I've been here 2 years and got on with everyone great. That is until I tried to help them.

They all moaned about the chavs coming round and causing trouble and wished someone would put gates up. So I started a gating scheme, got quotes, got a grant from the council etc. It was all going well until I asked everyone to pay ?25 towards the gates (which they had all previously agreed to!).

Now I'm a con artist, one of my neighbors punched me, and the rest don't talk to me.

I can categorically say that is the last time I ever do anything for my community! No wonder this country is going down the pan :angryfire:

Sorry for the hijack, have your thread back.

Hi Adam, I've been trying to post me old pics in date order (as best as I can as they're not all marked up with dates), so reckon I've done what '87 pics I've got to hand.
Have a look thru the rest of the archive, think there's some of that vintage ;)

Why, do you think you'll be in them? You're too young, surely :shock: :lol:

I've now remembered the blokes name that had the Charger ;Hansin. Does that ring any bells?
