Me too! You'd have Murray Walker or Colin 'utchinson commentating about the above 2 ^^^ + Brian Goss, Arthur Browning, Jeff Smith, Vic Eastwood, Dave Nicoll... Do you remember the bloke with 1 leg & crutches who always saw off the start? After it'd been on the telly me & mates would all go off to the woods nr where we lived on our pushbikes, but all racing would stop in time for us to be home for the footy results.

@@Tranmere59 Wow... wonderful memories and I remember all of those names you mentioned. I loved the speed and the way those guys dealt with the obstacles and MUD! To me, they were real heroes. Haha... football. I guess that it passed me by, despite being a Liverpool girl. The moto guys were really attractive to me, but the footballers seemed a bit unimpressive on a personal level. I watched the wrestling at 4.00pm with grandma... haha. Pure theatre. Thanks for sharing your memories. Very much appreciated.

That's the spirit! We're big on motocross down here in Dorset, and many times as a teenager I had sneak out quietly to take our friends bikes out for a blast in the local quarries. Fortunately, we never had any serious spills, so never had to reveal our 'playtime' to our mothers. Some of the bikes, though, weren't so lucky in escaping injury!

Hmm … well, we've contacted the man himself: here's what he has to say. Dear mundanestuff, Having just spent countless hours researching a 1970 Citroen colour code, you have my deepest sympathy ;) However, I think you may have spotted the 'deliberate' (ahem!) mistake in one of my books. (A page number would be useful and appreciated, please.) A quick online search indicates that Iris and Speedwell blues have different paint codes and, if so, are therefore different. The paint code is the nearest you'll get to a sure-fire identifier. So, you'll need to do some more online digging, searching for paint code numbers and weeding out the chaff from the wheat. A few extra comments: 1. Have you got the paint code on the VIN or other plate on the car? 2. Whatever you buy won't come close to any original paint because it fades and colour-changes over time. No problem if doing a total respray but you'll need an experienced body shop's colour tinter to make a closer match. 3. Results from different paint manufacturers, mixing schemes and human 'fat thumbs' can differ. For a full respray, buy enough to do the job from the first batch of paint. Now, back to my 1970 Kirghize, Orange Citroen Mehari, code AC315. I just this minute had to order more paint because I miscalculated with respect to '3' above. I'll make sure painted panels from different batches don't appear side-by-side, just in case… Bonne chance! Lindsay I hope that helps.

@@VelocePublishing you are, simply, amazing. Thank you for forwarding the request. It's on page 249 in the Mk I ('Frogeye') Sprite Colour Scheme section. Also please relay to Mr. Porter how much I appreciate him.and his books!

@@mundanestuff You're welcome: will do!

Hi Andrew. Yes, we're still here. Brilliant! We don't have the original photograph, but we do have a digital copy in our archive. Email me (Kevin Atkins) at [email protected] if you can, and I'll see what we can find out.

@@VelocePublishing Thank you, I just have emailed you.

Hope you managed to get a photo but give me an e mail and I will send you one. Best wishes Andy Westlake
