Cars that broke down unless you tinkered with them every week.

Cars that broke down even if you tinkered with them every week.

Tyres with no grip.

Brakes that could barely stop a car.

TVs that broke down.

Motorcycles that broke down and dripped oil from new.

Rampant homophobia fuelled by the media.

Rampant racism fuelled by the media.

Rampant sexism fuelled by the media.

The church, police and teachers being able to do as they pleased because it was accepted wisdom that they only did good and were never questioned.

Lethal work practices being accepted as normal.

Etc, etc, etc. The past was better only in our dreams.

My Grandpa. My daughters would have made him have fun with them more than he did with his own children and he would have loved them for it.

Edit. Corrected for alcohol induced poor grammar.

It all went wrong when they got rid of the dropped nose cone for the... flanged... thing. Only the silver McLaren livery circa 1997 pulled off the look, although at least Jordan openly acknowledged how ugly the new style was with its snake decal.

Bitten and Hisses!!! :laugh:

Some of the high nose cars didn't look too bad. It's all the little wing here and bargeboard there and sprout another aero aid everywhere that bugs me. I like nice clean lines on a racing car. Actually, the concept for the 2021 F1 cars looks really nice - though whether it will stay that way is another matter.

For a modern single-seater, the Gen2 Formula E cars are easy on the eye.
