Photo to make you smile

[Barry]

Well I haven't seen it before....have  you?

[Bob Purton]

I wonder why they are holding those sticks out of the window?

[richard]

Perhaps they are all punters  looks a brilliant atmosphere on these photos and clips . I suppose by this time there would have been ex WWII servicemen added to the ranks

[Barry]

Perhaps they are blind???   

I think they use the sticks to lance hoops during the race.  Perhaps F1 could learn a few things to make it more interesting - eating bobbing apples etc on the way

'Terrace Straight' at Crystal Palace racing circuit?

[richard]

wouldn't it be great to have just some of this fun at The National 

[Rusty Chrome (Malcolm Parker)]

Not seen the photo before or some of the videos, thanks for posting Barry. Definitely Crystal Palace in the photo and some of the videos.  Watching them it looks like the sticks were for jabbing into a potato as you drive past, then presumably dropping the potato into a bucket.

Did everyone spot the Scootacar. In I think the last video going around the cones ?

[Barry]

Scootacar?   That means this tread officially belongs in the official Unusual Microcar Discussion section - quick move it

[richard]

Don't wind him up

Did everyone spot the Scootacar.

Some Scootacars had a conversion to enable a disabled person to drive them.

There was a Bond and an Isetta as well.

cant imagine a amputee kick starting a Bond 

[Rob Dobie]

In the 1960s I bought a hand start lever direct from the Bond factory for my Mk C. Fitted on the floor under the dash, shown in photo, it joined the the kick starter by a long cable through the floor. Saved opening the bonnet when I sometimes stalled the little sod.
