Ahh the memories. I didn't realise there were colour slides taken at the time.

That was a real adventure. The first time I had to pull up I was shocked as the brakes, although there was good pedal were almost non-existent due probably to frozen wheel cylinders.

Great to see these pics!

I am glad you have happy memories of her Keith. They were interesting times.
