Top restoration tips |
Remember to replace the licence plates before taking a test run when you haven't got a licence, MOT or helmet. Never give a copper your mate's name when that same mate passes by and stops to see what the problem is and never turn up home followed by a cop car when your dad is having a kip sleeping off 6 pints of Tetley's after lunch. Recipe for a big, big disaster, but how can you seriously ground a 17 year old for life! |

Best gig |
Hard to choose: Groundhogs - Leeds Uni 1969 Rolling Stones - Leeds Uni 1971 Queen night at the opera - Perth 1976 Billy Connolly - when he was a bad folk singer and before he was a great comedian. At the viaduct |
