Great to see, thank you. I missed all this and have only seen short clips.

It was footage I thought worth keeping as it all adds to the Mk4 story

Always wanted one. Never had the money. My dad bought my first bike came from a police auction $2.00

I wanted a Mark 1 at 10 years old in 1969 with a passion. I never got a chopper, or for that matter a Johhny Seven One man army gun. I got a bloody etch a sketch instead for x-mas. For years and years, I never let my dad forget it, that lasted until 2008 when he died. At 65 I have just bought a new ultra violet model, the neighbous giggle but i don't care. You can rest in peace now dad, this Stocktonian boomer is happy now, no thanks to you lol.

They were around $70 new in NZ when I was a nipper.

I had the next best bike called a Grifter, great memories

Never did have the chopper, had the Woolworths version instead, it was blue and it had to rear round reflectors that made it look like rockets.

In Australia we had a similar bike called a dragster. As far as functionally was concerned they were shit. Very expensive and flashy.
