On the subject of stuff in cars, how about the button on the floor to squirt the windscreen?

I do remember that and also the floor button to dip the headlights which was a feature on the Morris Minor

Anyone remember local home brew shops? Where you could walk in off the street, browse the goods, seek advice off the shopkeeper and buy equipment, kits, hops, grain and all sorts of other HB goodies and once paid for, take them home that day rather than have to wait for stuff to be delivered.

They used to put the headlight dimmer switch down there in some cars, seem to remember my mates Triumph Herald had one.

What about getting free tiger tails from Esso petrol stations, you could tie them on the car aerial.

I don't remember the tiger tails but remember them giving away free sun strips you put across the top of your screen like the one below.

I got to love snuff.
I worked on a wooden square rigged sailing ship nearly 30 years ago.
Smoking was banned for obvious reasons...

I remember it made us sneeze a lot.

Remember when if you drove a Skoda people would laugh at you - (Skip to 1:00 to cut out all the crap)

 

[VW911]

Q: Why did a Skoda have a heated rear windscreen?
A: To keep your hands warm when you're pushing it!

The lovely brown snot was really quite attractive!!!
