Those little two-blade packs were giveaways with a certain amount of petrol at BP garages!

Those were the days...

Yes indeed. Cheap petrol (sorry for those for whom this stuff is 'gas' despite being in the liquid phase), carburettors (I know, more British English), and ignition by distributor. At the time, I was more concerned with the Esso giveaway of a tiger tail ("There's a tiger in your tank!") than the blades, as I was too young to shave.

I shouldn't distract from this splendid opportunity to buy some classic products. I'd have snapped them up myself at one time when I had an expectation of being able to use them. Jump at it lads, these opportunities don't show up every day.

Great memories, guys!

I still remember setting the timing on my first car. I could get it so I could balance a quarter on the radiator.

Those were indeed the days.

Reduced once again.

Another reduction.

Reduced yet again.

All the hardware is gone. I'm surprised the software is still unsold.
