Who remembers?

Did that Escort have fur on the dashboard? 

 

I've done a fair bit of touring around Zim, really loved it, beautiful country. People generally were amazing. Haven't been back for a while though.

 

What about Peter Tosh in Swaziland about '83  - although what I can remember of that concert is a bit blinkered.

do you know that the original brewery in CT was called Ohlson's before being bought out by Charles Glass (yes he was real) and changed to SAB.

Somehow I don't think he was.

Wow, who who would have thought! It may have been Mrs Glass, Lisa who was responsible for Charles Glass beer!

 

The history of Forrester arms here in CT as posted by rider#35 is also a fascinating read

Yup,

Was still in the army, so even though it was illegal to leave the country made the trek to ZIm in my bright Orange Ford Escort! Awesome couple of days. Springsteen, Sting, Tracy Chapman, Peter Gabriel etc etc! Still have a VHS tape of the concert. Biko by Gabriel has been played to death.

Went to Swaziland shortly after that to see Clapton. What we had to do to see artists in those days!

Push your memory back further, Queen The Works tour at Sun City! That's what started me on Live Concerts

was it a one-six double-oh Sport!  I loved those.  Wanted a black one......

Probably one of the better Fords ever. My cousin had one. I was supremely jealous.

Unfortunately Not! It was the previous model. The 1976 edition with the sloped boot. 1300L edition

what happened to his trial for using a false passport?

Found this on YouTube

 

 

Seen a lot of Michaei Woods other travel / history productions, all very good, and this is very reflective of the times. He doesn't remind us, but in those days trains, stations and all facilities in RSA were totally racially segregated (which was rigorously by the Spoorweg Police)  - I commuted for a year by train from the East Rand to Wits, half the train was 'non-white" and there was no encounter whatsoever. Silly thing was the branch train  line to Daveyton stopped close to where I lived, but I had to get to the other side of town to catch the train.

 

Maybe some of you enjoyed those times, I always thought it was seriously messed up

Was doing a spring clean of one my drawers since being back from holiday, and found an old Stiffy Disk along with an old Vodacom sim card I've had from years ago.
