Pictures wot my dad took: NOW FEATURING minimal 80s rubbish

[Leonard Hatred]

These are great. Love the adventurous Renaults, it must have been quite an undertaking to drive to Algeria from the north of Scotland in the 1970s

Good afternoon, and welcome to THE EIGHTIES.

I'm afraid, inconsiderately, there is VERY LITTLE SCAT CONTENT because of the arrival of ME right at the start of the 80s means that there is nothing but pictures of people holding babies between 1980, and about 1988. And 1989 saw favva_tone give up on stupid old-fashioned SLIDEZ and just do photos instead. I think that decision may have been partly in retaliation to the betamax incident of 1984/5 (NOT LASERDISC/MINIDISC/etc).

So, 1980 serves up more FOREN HOLIDAYS (Zoom in for spotting fun)

WHAT? ERRR, HOW DID THAT GET IN THERE? etc. Favva_tone showing off his natural affinity for handling baby_tone.

Then... 1988! MORE FOREN, NOW ALSO STARRING ME

THE END

[Leonard Hatred]

Is that the Skye ferry?
Enjoyed the FOREN, I like the Suzuki SJ with rectangular lights.

[tone_depear]

99% sure it is, yes. Kyleakin ferry?

[Jonny69]

Is that the one that pulls itself across the river on a chain that runs the length of the water? I think it was on Coast a few* months ago.

* +/- 12 months

I was sure that I'd seen that Mini on the ferry recently, but it must have been one with a very similar reg number instead. Disappointingly, I cannot make out the reg on the Princess on the same ferry to find out if it too disappeared in the 90s like all the rest.
