Along with some friends and myself..very young boys I hasten to add..we severely damaged one of these in the communal car park...which was at the back of the flats we all lived in..( ladbroke Grove )
The Ghia was parked at the bottom which was sloped up towards the entrance..and at the top is where the extremely large waste collection bins (aluminium ) stood..these monsters stood on wheels..
Us kids loved playing in them..and on this day we decided to play our regular game of DALEKs ( Dr Who )
But with a twist?
The game normally went like this..we rolled 2/3 bins into place..pushed over the top of the slope with us kids inside..rolling down and banging and crashing into each other (and whatever happened to be in the car park) with us all Screaming .."Exterminate Exterminate "
but this day the TWIST...was a bin FULL of rubbish..set on FIRE..oh the joy on our young PYROTECHNIC faces..which very soon turned too PANIC..has this FLAMING Behemoth CRASHED into this gleaming two tone green machine..with a smash and loud BOOM..a unanimous shout from us all.".RUN !"
