Three day rock concerts, sleeping in the hay bales, waking up to find some sausages and eggs, or something/someone to eat for breakfast. Hitchhiking everywhere.Quote:

I think the free love generation despite the nuclear bomb/cold war would have been good to have grown up in. This was the time when we had most of the infectious diseases issues sorted.
The here and now applies to all generations, the age of asbestos induced mesothelioma, depression and suicide, carbon warming and radical terrorists. I wonder how people will look back on these times in the future
You obviously did not get your legs burnt by the vinyl on the seats in summer or live through the non a/c days of hot sweaty travel.Quote:

I remember driving around in an XA GT hardtop all day one January 72? in Brisbane with some friends because it was the first car I drove with aircon.
working for Ford Australia was great that day.

When I was a kid (since I was born to about age 12) my family had an old Humber and Holden Premier. And when I was little I was nearly always wearing shorts, ohh it burned, until the beach towel found it's way onto the seat. :DQuote:

Those days, those black plastic shade thingys on the back window of the Premier were a godsend (even for what little shading they did).
Nothing was worse than having to touch the chrome door handles to open the door on the toasty day. Oh, and putting my arm on the windowsill of the car, that usually got a swearword out of me.
Oh the memories. Good times, good times :D:D
Cars of that era generally had smaller glass areas and the windows were more upright than todays cars. Even EKs with their wraparound windscreen let in little compared to the glass houses people drive today. I don't remember burning my legs in the HT, but Dad would leave the windows down (it's probably illegal now).
Wanting to be born in a different era is like wanting different parents, or wanting to live in outer space, you can dream but you have to accept what you get eventually, even if it takes a while.

We also used to bundle up newspapers and sell them to the butcher.Quote:
