hotrod nostalgia on YouTube

[Manky Monkey]

Just browsing YouTube & came across this film footage from various 70s rod runs. I rememeber some of these cars, including Ray Cristopher's V8 milk float, which we mentioned here recently.
Wonder what's happened to all these cars?

Loving Nick Butlers Revenge, loved that car since I was a kid.
Wonder what would happen if someone was to build a hotrod like that now. Would it get through BIVA?
The milk float was the business too.

I'm pretty sure there's another one around in magenta, (purpley pink). One of those iconic cars everyone remembers. There seemed to be a lot more enthusiasm & imagination about it all back in the 70s, with guys churning out cars every other week. Maybe they just didn't worry about regulations so much then.

If memory serves me right, I shall be mostly sure that I saw the milk float at a Wheels day at Slyfield many (many) moons ago. I'm gonna have to search ye olde photo album.

Talking of Revenge, I saw Mr Butler driving down Guildford High Street in it (again, a looonng while ago) as I was riding up, so I turned round, caught up with him in traffic and asked if he was going to a local event that was coming up (guessing it was a drag meeting at Blackbushe?? Show how long ago it was doesn't it!)

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be!
