I think we watched too much Life on Mars

If that's the case then bloody good try, you'd have had me fooled if you'd said mid-late 70's and I was there

Just looks 'right' and an impressive photo too.

O/T very nice idea for a thread.

My old Rosso Red Ford Escort XR3i pictured in late summer 1985? No, taken in March 2009.

The uPVC doors are a bit new for the '80s though aren't they?

Why did you take the picture just as another car was about to drive past? Oh and a pedestrian is just entering the frame on the other side

Genuine question, unless Im missing the point, why have you written 1957 on the B&W one?

My Dad did this whit all his photos, so a year number written on a corner of an old picture makes it more "genuine" for me, but that's probably a personal thing.

How did you take this picture ,it looks as if it is from 1960

Well of course it is 2005, but as a journalist I never let the truth get in the way of a good story! It's me at the wheel and I bought the disc of photos taken by the company who were there, then converted it to B&W, blurred it a little, added a bit of noise, all thanks to Paint Shop Pro. Here's another for comparison, this time as it was taken:-



So with a bit of work, it comes out like this:-



But that's the whole point of this thread, which some people seem to have missed. Instant nostalgia!
