I Remember When

Petrol under £1 per gallon

Filling my Mini up for £1

Replacing the rubber ball suspension on my Mini Clubman 1275GT.  What a Game

When leaner Drivers could drive on their own

Oh yes, back during the Suez crisis.

the suez crisis

Write your comments here...no laughing matter in our family was the Suez Crisis.Dad was on Z Reserve having served in the 8th RTR and17th/21st Lancers as a vehicle electrician/ tank driver and also being parachute trained.They were going to drop his unit into the Canal Zone with Light Armoured units.I was two,he had just started his first business and Mum was really worried about being left as a young widow.Not funny.

I remember driving during the Suez Crisis as a learner 

The Cuban Crisis, that really frightened us all. We had a very solemn lecture at school about what could happen.

When railway crossings were man operated

Sitting on the bridge over the railway watching steam engines go past then getting told off by my mother for getting covered in Smuts!
