Comment on Classic Car Ford Corsair GT by Peter Jasinghe

Peter Jasinghe — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:02:07 +0000

Greetings all, I own a 1967 Ford Corsair V4 deluxe that was brought down to Colombo, Sri Lanka in 1967. The car is in fabulous condition and has been well cared for by all its previous owners. It never misses the Classic car Motor Show that takes place once in two years in Colombo. My dad owned a standard model Ford Corsair that he purchased in the early 1964 and shipped it to Sri Lanka later that year which did hi yeaoman service for a good 24years prior to laying-up the car.

Great to read about the rover2ooop6. I had a s/c a t/c.also.I drool
when I view the pictures of the ones I had even though the body work
bugged me when I to get rid as I had no means to store.
I also had to change the flexy plate three times on an automatic
the third time as I reversed off the drive,
But the Rover in general was a joy to drive,A fantastic British
Motor, and feel lucky to have had three of them,

Comment on Green Shield Stamps by steve

Good explination of the old Green Shield Stamps. We were quite poor and saving up the stamps for a ‘luxuary’ item was a nice treat for my Mum. Good spot of them mentioned in the song, I think they were also mentioned in a Genisus and a Jeathro Tull tune. Modern loyalty cards, provided by the modern supermarket chains are the modern equivilent. But much more sophisticated because they are really there to provide marketing information about the customer and the points are a lure. I just wish they would lower prices a little – I hate having to carry the blinking loyalty cards arround but if you dont you lose out. By the way – I think the Green Shield Gift shops became ARGOS Cheers Steve
