I loved these guys!

I was rather disapointed that in real life/old age Bill Oddie was not funny at all and just a bit, well, odd really.

Anyone remember these? Just found them on Amazon.



We also used to make little bombs with match heads, 2 bolts and nut inbetween.

Des and Daphne, I believe. How are they getting on ? Do they still have the café ?

That yellow Honda looks just like my old fizzer.

My AP50 would have pissed over both of them!

In terms of performance, walking would have probably pissed over my old FS1-E but that didn't matter one bit.
It was my first motorised transport at age of 16 and it was bloody brilliant. The feeling of being able to go anywhere without having to get lifts from your parents was just fantastic.


Mine looked more like this:

I had one of these rockets...crashed it while checking if the brake light was working...

My best mate; who got everything that he wanted, had a blue one, I have fond memories of the two of us blasting up and down the cul de sac where he lived, trying to pull wheelies, no helmets of course!!

Heads were harder in the 70s.

Never see these anymore....



Remember the above in PaperTiger in Leicester, and these at my local Newsagents...

You have your number plate held on with Velcro?

Some sort of getaway driver???

[GTIR]

Also, I like your pet alien next to you. Very cute.

[RobinBanks]

It's also pretty cool that you have writing at the bottom of the plate detailing the exact model of the car

Mine was like this (borrowed pic) It went fairly well for 50cc - until one day it didn't , quite suddenly

Apparently these existed in the 90s, at the dawn of the WWW....
