Photographs From Your Past

Post by scooter »

Feel free to add some photographs of you from the past.

Here's a couple from a Newquay lads holiday from 1973:

Setting up base camp.

As for me I have fond memories of my first tutor group.

Great pics Scooter, looks like a good time. I had almost the same situation but no pics unfortunately.. with 6 mates, 3 cars (cortina/beetle/escort) off for a camping trip to the Lake District... fruit flying between cars on the overtake. Not that I would condone that behaviour now :?

I keep this next one around to remind myself of how much I used to weigh during the “Bad Years.” It helps me keep the weight off. This is probably 2007 maybe.

This is me on the Left in 1987. Age 18.

Me and my Still best mate Mel, hitchhiked from Amsterdam to Barcelona.
Heading for my Brother's hang out in Malaga, we bunked on a train, but got thrown off in Salou.

Stayed there for 6 Months, Lots of good stuff happened !

Just noticed I'm wearing a watch in the picture, can't remember exactly, but I think it was a Timex.

Pic 1] Newly arrived in Australia during winter, I'm the Pom on the front row, in a duffel coat because Mum said "It's Winter!"

Pic 2] Captain Thermexman in Bridlington Boating Lake circa '73. (Yes we only stayed in Oz for 5 yrs)

Pic 3] My last bike in 2000. ( Wife inherited a car and the bike was worth more, so it got sold)

Pic 4] Somewhere near Morecambe I think '82.

Pic 5] My first car in '80. It was a '74 Hillman Imp. 850cc I think. It taught me a lot about how to use Fibreglass filler & Bitumen underseal.

Great photos Greg!

I couldn’t find many photos from the way back past but judging by the phone and clip, this one is probably at least 15 years old!

Image

Note the sad lack of a watch! I have no idea what made me so tired. Well, I have some idea, but it’s probably not all that flattering.
