  • Hello to All

    Hi All,

    I can't quite believe I have only discovered this forum now!

    Am a huge fan of 1980s things and in particular that to do with cars. My primary interest is those long forgotten 'workaday' cars of the 1980s (Talbot Horizon, Nissan Cherry etc). I also have a deep fascination with old Soviet & Eastern Bloc cars - Trabant, Wartburg & Zil etc. Basically, if history has generally been unkind to it, I tend to be interested in it!

    My pride and joy, is my 1986 (1987 Registration) Fiat Panda 1000S which has been in the family from new. I drove this everyday until February 2010, when the rust finally became too much and forced a SORN. In the coming years, I intend to restore it to original condition, even if finding parts is becoming ever more difficult.

    My other hobby is collecting old vehicle child safety seats/products from the mid 1970s to late 1980s. I am always looking for news or magazine articles on old child vehicle safety products, old adverts and of course the old products themselves! I hope to start a website in early 2012 showing my collection and research so far on the subject.

    Anyway, I'm really looking forward to discussing some great nostalgia with everyone. If only I'd found the forum sooner!!

              Hi,

              The cars I love tend to be the ones I grew up with. They were my Dad's firm's cars; mostly Cortinas, Consuls and Granadas. And I have a soft spot for my first car, a Mini.

              Anyway, welcome to a really friendly forum.
