Surfin' USA......

Not a patch on your Audrey Hepburn Suzie, but here's me and my bestest buddy doing our Brian and Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys thing back in the 1970's. "God Only Knows" was one of their songs, which could well be a fitting comment here! :-)

Dig the custom made surfboards!

Yep, that's me in my prime. Not sure about the handsome bit, those shades can be deceiving.

Very happy times. The 70s were the best in my books.

Aw the 80s weren’t bad either 😉 great photo, my son would be so jealous of the surf boards and motors in the background! Lovely beach too, Cornwall? Wales? 😀

Cornwall, can't remember exactly where we were that particular day. The white sporty motor looks nice. Not so sure about my friend's Morris Marina that we're sat on. As I recall they had a reputation for being unreliable. This one did its best to live up to it and started playing up not long after we arrived, it eventually conked out and had to go in for repair. It still wasn't right after that but did manage to get us back home to Wales...just!!

Yeah it was white one I fancied, looks like triumph tr7 but I’m no motorhead just remember them being flash ones I would’ve liked lol! Passed my test in dad’s old cortina, showing my age there but remember Marinas too. All

our cars broke down back then, my son thinks they were great cos you could fix yourself hmm not so sure about that 😊 Love Cornwall.

I'm not so sure about that either! We had to watch our pennies for the remainder of the holiday after forking out for repairs.

He’s obviously never had to stop every hour to top up the water in old mini like me, youngsters eh?! 😬
