They fetching some money eh mate  fella by me got a bucket of a triumph stag 2 months late it was mint and sold fir 18 g  best old Motors  I should have hung on to were a Dolomite sprint a zodiac  but by far the best was a Austin woolsley full chrome garaged  and mint I gave an old boy up the road 400 fir it to use as a run around in 86  sadly it hit 3 cars and an old oak tree if I’d hav garaged it. Bet it would get some dollars fir it at today’s prices 

My first car was cortina mk1 "lotus " i got it off a old women for 100 quid and she'd had it from new and it was mint ,then I had escort mk1 Mexico that I sold to a pal and he had it for over 20 Yr [BANNED TEXT] flogging it to some fella into rallys. 

I had 3 litre capri ,fcuk that tank could move but nearly killed myself in it  

Wish I had them now

No mate, it was just a place the Stanford Parkas used to gather.

They held a couple of northern soul night there and at shell club….my pal old Alec used to organise them.

Danny bought himself one I believe !

The lads you bumped into, don’t know what age they were, but if they were old fogeys I probably know them and if they were youngsters they were probably the sons of some of the old fogeys I know ! Lol 

Great really that little bit of British sub-culture is still alive and well.
