Was riding thru Mt Barker a fortnight ago and there was 4 heritage cop cars on the side of the road heading somewhere.

What took my notice was the old pale/baby blue Kingswood police car with the bright orange stripe down its sides and the blue light on top, completely forgot about them and was fantastic to see, if I was so stuffed I would have stopped and taken a photo.

cant even find a photo on google

Candy Stripes as we all called them if I remember correctly. I had forgotten all about those too.

Thats the one, although this one was pristine and the stripe was very orange and only had one light on top.

I reckon there's a petrol station on OG road that still does driveway service, the one across from the massive light shop.

You know your nearing 40 in Adelaide when you remember "all my lovin" as the closing song on YTT, instead of Rhianna's stupid Umbrella song :shock:

My first job out of school was working at the old Clatex petrol station at Midway Road in Elizabeth East...

I used to have a select few 'regulars' that I would fill up their tanks, check their air tyre pressure and clean the windscreen...

Mainly some older loyal customers and then the odd smart @rse mate or family member that would come past and expect the service from me !!!
