B/w portable tv - before electricity on the farm, used to run on the bakkie's battery -tv times only from 6 to 9 pm [unless there were a boxing match] or the battery would be flat and the bakkie wont start .

My dad had one of these for years, then “upgraded” to a Chev luv 1600 bakkie, that thing went where 4x4’s had nightmares. Was a sad day when it was sold, I’ll give my aching last chewing tooth to own one again, maybe when I’m big,and restoring it. Skating on box while being towed behind it on farm roads, driving into dongas at night because you didn’t see it, Fordson blue to the rescue, after taking the bakkie battery out to actually start it:D, and hauling a full wind pump in a 13 hour trip in one load on a six hour normal trip with a blown head gasket replaced next to the garage in Vaalwater, with dominie and wife bringing lunch and coffee for us, I was about 10 and chief spanner holder and oil rag:).

I remember the early polaroid cameras where you had to pull the exposed photo out of the camera, wait a few minutes, and then peel open the covering.

If I remember correctly one box of "film" contained 10 photos. They were also very expensive.

Many an hour spent flying my Flight Trainer in our back yard, and that sweet smell of methanol and castor oil
