What were you doing in the '70s? *PICS*

**Kwaka-Kid** · 30th November 2004, 20:04

Just scrounged thru Nodmans drawers, amoungst home brew recipes, umpteen speeding tickets (luckily all dating before current employment), and the rest of the hoarded crap - i finally found a photo album! i thought the pics were worth sharing either coz they were either doing funny things or had funny looking people in em! and as much as this aint a car place i have to throw up a pic of Killer Queen-go the cobra!

cool pics

I didn't exist in the 70's either, so none of me. And while my dad had similar hair to nodman, if maybe a bit more afro, he wasn't into bikes or cars much, so no interesting pics to post here.

**aff-man** · 30th November 2004, 20:53

me didn't exist either. Though towards the end i was probably a glimmer of a hint of a thought of an idea of .................

hmmm, the 70's, I was horse mad, and at school, but had my first motorbike experience then too, I learnt to ride a honda enduro that someone left for my step father to repair. ( he had an engineering business)

you are such a naughty boy kk, lol, just glad my kids aren't into shuffling through my photo albums and posting piccies on the internet. Pete had the mean 70's hair too, watch out guys it's all likely to come back into fashion!!

Just read this and haven't looked at other postings on this thread but that car ain't a Cobra, it's a MISTRAL! A Kiwi built kit car from the '50s and '60s, the patterns came from the U.K. and certain outlets like Emslie and Flockton in Dunedin sold them, you had to provide the engine, wheels etc. and the idea was you got a snazzy looking (for the '60s) sports-car, most were built using side-valve Prefect engines etc so that one with the small-block Chev engine would have been fairly radical back then - where is it now?

My one had Humber 80 running gear, is now running 302 Ford V8, Toyota 5-speed, late model suspension amd brakes etc, goes well and I call it "the motorcycle car" 'cos it has no sidewindows, heater etc so you get the rain, smells, coldness etc that you do on a bike.

BTW I was in my 20's in the 70s, cool times!!

The one with the busted leg, looks like that's an 80's pic.

Yeah,no one wore short hair in the 70s except crims! I had long lank greasy hair in the 70s,but it would get into a knotted mess on bikes,and we didn't exactly spend all day combing our hair! So in 77 I got a friend to chop it all off,that was a bad look and people thought I'd been inside.I've got a photo my mother took of me that year working on my Rickman at her place (must of needed something there) and I don't look nice at all.I need a scanner,there's some good stuff,but very embarrassing,we wore horrible clothes.
