G-MANN ◊ 2012-11-06 23:07	Nice work, Stronghold. Sometimes I've watched old episodes of The Bill on Youtube, including some of the earlier ones and it's fascinating to see what England looked like when I was very little (I was born in 1984)

MrTaft ◊ 2014-10-05 12:54	I'm going to go through and get images of the main characters' personal cars from the '80s. Admirably the producers kept the same vehicles for the characters for several years (except Galloway, who changed cars each season, and Brownlow in '85/'87). From 1988-1990 (at least) Sgt Cryer, Insp Frazer, CI Conway, Ch. Supt Brownlow, Sgt Peters, and DI Burnside all had their personal vehicles featured in multiple episodes, getting into chases, crashes, and so on.
Sandie ◊ 2014-10-06 17:27	I look forward to seeing more added to this series, I made a few captures from some YouTube videos some time ago but never felt they were good enough to upload.

cl82 ◊ 2014-11-18 19:52	I`m sorry but actually I am rather pleased than shocked. Probably this TV-show is a bit too young as by 1984 most of the Rootes-scrap had already gone to the scrap-heap. Nevertheless, I have to say that I spotted at least two Chrysler Avengers on this particular page. Or aren`t they accepted as genuine Rootes-crap?

My fellow Christian from http://www.audi-50.de/ travels since 25 years often to Italy, to the market in Padova for example. He told me, that -as in Germany- Italian junkyards aren't worth to visit any more since 20 years. Only modern plastic-junk, nothing for us. Around 15 years ago I like to travel to Sweden, as there were still a plenty of marvellous junkyeards. But these times are gone, as my Swedish fellow told me. Not worth to go there just for that reason. In France the same, as francophile fellows told me, the junkyards aren't worth any visit any more.
