It was great on sunny days when most cars had black vinyl seats

Yes, I remember, my Suzuki Swift has cloth seats i dread to think what it would have been like if we still used vinyl seats, I also remember plastic motorcycle seats.

Owwwwwwww. Burnt botty.

I remember a Mk III Cortina estate. Lots of windows, basically a green house on wheels with black vinyl everything inside.

Fords of that era had a very distinctive smell of baked vinyl.

Chilling in a camping chair on the drive (in the shade) watching the track cycling from Munich on the lappy and snacking on some sultanas.

In 1976 I was riding round on a bright yellow MZ250 motorbike, I remember parking it under a tree in Evesham, and when I came back the sun had moved round and the bike was in the full glare of the sun, which was heating up the seat very nicely.

I think that might have been the Allegro? ( happy to be corrected )

There's a loud lawnmower just started up in one of the neighbours gardens, it's drowned out the sound of the Coastguard helicopter heading towards Bournemouth for the second time today...

I think it was the Austin Allegro, although few steering wheels are truely round anyway.

Just looked at a flight radar thingy and it looks like military?

I have never managed to eat a very juicy mango without getting stickiness everywhere. Today's was no exception.

Man I love mangoes, the stone from a mango is the hardest substance known to man.
