remember these shows?

The Professionals - nobody made such brilliant low budget shows as the Brits.

I remember one show where a scene called for an XJ6 to go over a bank and explode - just like a big-budget Yank show.
They obviously could only afford one car because as it tipped over the bank the passenger's head fell off.....

The myth about Captain Pugwash, Master Bates, Seaman Stains and Rodger the Cabinboy has been dealt with in at least two other threads that I can remember on this fine biker site...

10 Speed and Brownshoe
Rip Tide - (had a robot and bikini-clad blondes in it)

"Graffity Crimes"

"Carbon Copy People"

Aah, Mi Sex, one of NZ's top bands. Saddly missed.

Don't forget "Don't Give Me Culture" by The Knobs.

Are the late 70's - early 80's a great time for NZ music

Mi-sex was my first live show - at the Invercargill Civic Theatre.
The place was packed and I got one of the last tickets right at the top and right at the back.
DD Smash - Cool Bananas. Saw that tour live at the Waikiwi Tavern also in Invercargill. Fantastic.
I thought he went off the rails (musically) after that. Aahh nostalgia.

Old TV shows...hmmmm...Z Cars, The Avengers, Morecombe & Wise, Dr Who, Happy Days. English comedy shows like Open All Hours, Porridge, Steptoe & Son, 'Ello 'Ello, always better than anything out of the States. Then there was crap such as Hi-de-hi, On The Buses, I Love Lucy, Beverley Hillbillies.

You got any tapes/recordings - know where I can get them??

There were 2 cars - one a modified delorean and the other a manta ray.... it was an expensive job - they probably had deep pockets.

The first pic is the manta - the later car and the second the modified delorean from the earlier seasons.
