Old Car Accessories

[tonyav]

Some great ( and some not so great ) old car accessories on this link, some I remember and some I don't.
Can't understand why it wasn't the law to wear the 'Safety Felt Cap' I mean no more nasty head injuries wearing one of those and much more snazzier than a crash helmet on a motor bike.

I remember the Nenette.

[tonyav]

So do I, Mamya.

[Mamyalynne]

Bet you had a sleeper conversion kit :-)

[tonyav]

I'm afraid when I needed one there was none available for a Ford Capri or Lotus Europa ( and that bloody gearstick was a nightmare ) :-(

[Mamyalynne]

Shame.

[tonyav]

It was, Mamya.

Did I see something there that could be coated on a car to make it hairy? Only I'd like to surprise Dave.

[tonyav]

Yes gness, Velvetex. I'm sure it would surprise Dave waking up to find that his bonnet needed a shave LOL.

[gness]

Not as bad as waking up to find I needed a shave though, Tony.

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, yeah. I'm sure that he could learn to live with an hairy bonnet.

I'm surprised not to see the can of ridiculously inflammable stuff that you sprayed into the air intake on cold mornings - it worked OK but turned your car into an EZ Start junkie that would then never catch without a quick spray.

Just had a Google and the damn stuff still exists !!

Handy instead of porridge some mornings Dave.

[tonyav]

LOL, I remember that stuff, Dave. Great stuff for setting a Ford on fire ( they never started in a cold winter ) 6 quid these days though, only about 50p in the 70's.

So - no change there then ...

[ I wonder how cold the shed is tonight ...

[Mamyalynne]

Bloody freezing!

[tonyav]

Well Dave, it's minus 1 here !

[gness]

He’ll let you know in the morning once he’s defrosted.

[tonyav]

Give him a swig of this stuff and he'll be fine, gness.

[gness]

You want me to start spoiling him? He can run around the field to warm up!

[tonyav]

LOL, not in bare feet though surely.
