Old Enough To Remember?

Anyone else remember Guy Williams with a black hat, cape and mask?

I used to go to Saturday morning kids club at the cinema.... The Black Whip, Zorro, Flash Gordon and many more!


Oh, on my Navy (long) air engineering course, I was in the second or third course to do the "digital techniques" module as we now had the Westland Lynx, which had "digital circuits"......

Programming was included... on a Z80 tutor..... in machine code.....

Later I even did a course on programming in....... Basic.....

Duh.

We moved to a new (to us) house in Montreal in 1972 and within several days my youngest sister came tearing in to announce Helene of "Chez Helene" lived just down the street from us. Her new friends had brought her over to knock on her door and meet her.

The show ran from '59 - '73 and I watched it as a young kid, as did all my siblings.
 
I'm old enough to remember .64 cent 98oct leaded gas at the Gulf. My 1973 Postal Jeep loved the stuff! Ran it in my 1984 Honda Spree too. Until I discovered Cox model airplane fuel really made her fly!

many, if not most of us on this thread remember $0.19 regular and 98 octane was barely mid-grade for a few cents more. I think the high octane offerings were something like 106-ish, and it was all leaded. Unleaded didn't show up until around '72-'73 sometime, I don't recall the exact year but Google can probably pin it down. I think '75 was the first year all the cars had to run on unleaded, except I remember a Chrysler lean-burn that could still run on leaded IIRC. Taxing my old-man memory here.

That's amazing. Only time I ever saw more than 100oct at the pump was when Sunoco offered 105oct unleaded as race gas at a few stations for 2.89gal. Later skyrocketed to $7gal. I guess that's how those old muscle cars were able to run so well with leaded 106! I didn't start driving until 1984 when I was 16. 1st car was a 1973 AMC Postal Jeep passed down from my older brother.
