	The Vette at the top would appear to be this one: Still not sure why it was RHD?

	the top corvette was out of "Corvette Summer" with Mark Hamil and would have to be one of the worst movies ever made. the reason why it's RHD? so mark's character could do something different. as for the 80's... to quote Rick James: "cocaine is a helluvah drug"

	From someone who lived through the 70´s and doesn´t have to look it up in a book or google it! ;D When flames were in, when cars were raised at the back and not slammed, when multicoloured enginerooms got lots of oohs and arhhhhs! when fluffy interiors were not frowned on, when original Cosmics, Brm´s could be had for a tenner, when the coolest car in our street was a V6 Anglia or HA Viva Van selfmade estate with handpainted dessert island pictures all down the side and Cosmics! when my neighbour came home with a new company car and instead of the usual Cortina he had ordered 1300Capri and got into sh*t with his wife ´cause he hadn´t told her and it only had two doors! Love it, those were the days. see it´s restoration here... www.guildclassiccars.com/super_van.htm one of the "must haves" Matchbox of the seventies, here´s the origianal... Another Matchbox "must haves"

Incidentally Alistair, I remember about 2 or 3 years ago seeing a metallic blue big vauxhall (Viscount? Cresta?) with an ass in the air stance, slotmags and lakes pipes around your neck of the woods quite a few times.... was that anything to do with you? I find it hard to believe a big old Vauxhall with 70's styling and Slotmags in your area didn't have some sort of connection to you

	that old Cresta/Vicsount belonged to a guy called John who I did know but haven't seen in ages. Theres an interesting story about the wheels on it, but its not actually that interesting and rather long so I won't reproduce it here. I believ John sold the car Spring or early Summer time.
