Old Enough To Remember?

[Al Gully]

Hudson’s Bay Company had booths and counter service.
They served the best chocolate malts in a cup back in the sixty’s.
Anyone have one of their signature blankets.

I have an old Hudson's Bay pea coat - the red and black kind. It's been in my family for years, still in perfect shape.

I had a girlfriend/fiancé once that had a Yugo when I started seeing her. It actually wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. Everything on it was from something else. The basic engine/transaxle was Fiat 152? Ignition parts were VW, etc. I drove it quite a bit, and very hard. Think shift when the valves float.... And I never killed it, kinda surprised really.

It was a remake of the FIAT 128... I had a bright yellow one in the stone age!

Shortened though... technically more the (early) 127...
The GVX (with 1.3L EFI engine) would have been a runner
Pretty much in the class of the Austin/MG Metro Turbo (a 93HP shoe box with a top speed of 112 mph/180kph, such "hot hatches" where kinda popular back then...)

I got this when I was 12. Been sitting on a shelf for over 40 yrs.
I really need to clear out a lot of junk. Pretty sure the game no longer works.

I have one of those but it's the 'big' one where the players are moved along by vibration of the board.

My brother had one of those. There was a bolt in one corner that adjusted the vibration intensity.

I remember playing with the kicker (only player with moving part) and the little cotton football.

Ok- but did you - like me - paint your players in the uniforms of your favorite teams.... because you couldn't afford to buy the extra team sets?

No, it was his game, but he didn't paint them. He also played with toy soldiers.

I wasn't into sports, just electricity and electronics. We both still like our hobbies.

I had one of those game sets. I still remember my father chasing us out of the living room when we were playing it because he couldn't hear the tv because of the noise that the game made.
