Used to dip lollipops into these. Loved it
Hell yes
We had one of these on my Uncles Dairy Farm in Bulawayo!
My Aunt used one of these along with her coal stove on her Turkey Farm in Germiston! I also learned to shoot on that farm!
Dinky Toys were my most prized possessions!
In my day we had black and white TV in Rhodesia and my go-to show was Thunderbirds! And I actually had Lady Penelopes Car!
What was it used for @Rob Fisher? It looks like the old wringer that one used to get on washing machines, to squeeze the water out of the clothes.
The old people needed muscles in those days!!
My brother's, too!
Not my childhood, but teenage years.
Here it was called ''Redding internasionaal'' loved that show and the car is so unusual !Guess it will be worth some $ to serious collectors .
ALPHA 1999 in S.A. Used to be late-ish on Friday night , an excellent excuse for a sleep over
Judging by the cars in this pic, it was taken during my childhood years. We used to go to Durbs on holiday and a rickshaw ride was the highlight of the holiday! Do they still have them? @Rob Fisher
Nope @Hooked. I haven't seen them around for a few years... mind you, I avoid the Durban Beachfront like the plague.
Who remembered(mostly guys) the Yamaha RZ50
It was every boys dream 50 to have
The other competion was the Suzuki RG 50
Some said the Gamma(RG 50)was the fastest 50(125km/h) ever,but we took a RZ 50 and build it and got 145km/h out of it
Those days was fun to play around with the 50s lol

Absolute winner, fastest of the two if you ask me, never owned one but rode a friends one frequently. Been riding for 45 out of 50 years, last 10 infrequently, maybe I should go for a license at some stage or the other.Who remembered(mostly guys) the Yamaha RZ50

Two others, RD 350, a monster, DT 125 or XT 175 for dust and grass, and XT 500 if you could kickstart it, that took a couple of ankles out!
Anyone remember these pretty coffee tins?
Yip, every piece of clothing I owned had black two stoke spots all over the back. Love that smell. Ported and polished with a noisy expansion box. Man we behaved like freaking idiots!Who remembered(mostly guys) the Yamaha RZ50

Owned an XL500s for a couple of years. The one with the “auto” decompression valve that released whenever it felt like it. Damn that thing kicked back like a mule.Absolute winner, fastest of the two if you ask me, never owned one but rode a friends one frequently.

Dumped my brother right off the bike, and he was on the kick starter with both feet,
you soon learned to kick and foot off, a couple of cripples walking funny when that compression didn’t work for you and you got kickback.
