I get a bit nostalgic sometimes when I think back to my younger days and the laughs we had maybe im still hanging on to my youth? But great memories, as fit and healthy as a butchers dog then. You might get a thump in the head by a bigger kid, but that was all part of the growing up process, that happens now the riot police would be called out. All the thumps broken limbs and im still here.
i drop off and collect my 4 yr old grandson JJ from school, the other day we were walking out the playground and JJ has to always climb over this metal rail thing, as he is doing it some other kid starts pullin and thumping him in the back i pretended to ignore it as i could hardly say punch him J so i quietly said go to work jj sort the job and he did the business this kid wont Bananarama! about like that again, gave me a load of satisfaction, i dont want a bully but he has to make em have it when its needed,

its all to bloody soft now, and yes i to hark back to my youth most everything i mess around with or buy etc is 60,s 70,s related


I have found myself thinking about my childhood more and more these days ....Not sure why ,it might be because me old dad is looking old and fragile these days ...Can,t imagine him not being on the end of the phone or not being there on a Sunday when i go to see him...He goes on about when i was a kid and the trouble i gave him and me mum....I can,t remember half of the things i did but by the sounds of it i was a bigger a hole then than i am now...But i owe him everything he taught me a trade and made me work six days a week ....On the days i turned over in bed he would drag me out ...."Don,t matter what you do for a living son if you can,t get out of bed youll be a bum"........He worked his backside of and dragged us out of East London ,to this day i have never seen a man lay a brick like him......Sorry about that a b it off a soft moment there

So mixed up with the past myself I bought a pair of these babies.
All I need now is a pair of Lionel Blair's.

Ah, they don't make nostalgia like they used to... :D

Great find, thanks Ivor, I could watch that stuff for hours.

Bryan- not many cars can pull off side pipes but that looks the biz 8-)
