The Twins Satellite Sport
Plymouth GTX
A few from the 85 Brighton run.
And my Dart after a fresh new lick of paint.
Re: Rapids 80's photos
Thanks Mark
was that pic of our car taken outside your house in Waltham Abbey? I think we fitted the centerlines in 87 so that will have been around then, or shortly after.
I have a similar set of Brighton photos, will check the date later

I think you may be right about it being 87, the centerlines on the front of mine were Blues which he lent me about that time. I'd forgotten the Brighton was still going then.RobTwin wrote: Wed Nov 12, 25 9:31 am I think we fitted the centerlines in 87 so that will have been around then, or shortly after.

We went to Waltham Abbey back in June (not far from Blue's old place) to the Royal Gunpowder Mills, for the Herts Auto Show... now in Essex

Re: Rapids 80's photos
Hmm, I was never that keen on the green. Hence it got resprayed by ‘89. A Kawasaki colour I believe. Maybe suppose to be similar to Sassy grass green?
So the white 4 door Valiant was Dennis the Menace. Owned by a Paul ? Had a Koffel engine (or just a cam?) I remember he had an issue with it.
And Dinger’s car - the right way up

Multiple barrel rolls and he wasn't wearing a crash helmet!
Keeping your foot in it with a broken halfshaft was never going to end well.
Re: Rapids 80's photos

For a 4 door.
