Memories of Childhood...Images only please - GMach1 - 22-01-2019 20:36
Okay I was thinking about this for a bit and I decided to make a spin-off of the Memories of Childhood thread-which has exceed all my expectations so far. This thread will be specifically for images or photos which can be used to illustrate your point. For example the one I will start off with is my old skateboard

As you can see it had much bigger wheels-70mm Kryptonics to be precise-they went in 60,65 and 70mm (Blue, Green and Red(in that order) and still has the original skidpad at the back and the original cool stickers-cost in 1979/80 around £60 and I had to save up nearly £45 and my dad made up the difference.
Anyway this is the sort of thing we want to see so if you have any personal images of things OR can take photos of toys, games, bicycles etc please post OR look on Google for images.
Thanks in advance GM
