A quick question, meaningfull to some, irrelevant to others, it was common to cadge lifts/hitch to niters in the late 60's upto late 70's, so what eas the best motor that you arrived /or nearly (5miles from venue)arrived in that was knicked

?

But it might be fun to remember those days!

1/ Jag MK6(trueGray?) from Derby(knicked in Notts) to Wigan we got out in Bolton when we realised the shit we're were in.

2/ Nobody will believe this, but picked up by a Roller outside Manchester on way to Wigan, hitching alone, the guy turned out to be a mate of Bri 45Philips and took me round the corner to the Casino.

3/ Real style this, hitched a lift (me and Harry) from Derby to Mexborough - for "An Evening of Soul" with a old Ted in a Jag Mk2.

We gave him some gear and he came in to the do and even took us back to Derby later, right off his ducktail!

That was awsome ..almost no traffic on motorway ..those were the days

I may be having a grey moment but what year was that as i went to millions of Notts Pally all-dyers but don't recall any niters

 

Mick  (Not the mick you related to in your post)

Think you are having a Grey moment M8 of course Notts Pally did Niters

 

also my m8 Bernie use to nick his sisters Hillman imp to go to Wigan she'd come home a night go to bed he'd push the car off the drive & down road a bit before starting it, go to wigan take the lads being it back park it up she never had a clue, never even realised her mileage had increased or that engine was still warm!
