GerryC400 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 O.K, Don't all laugh ! Probably for the more senior members on here !! How many people on here had a C.B radio fitted in their opel or any other motor all those years ago. What were your handles? Just thought this might be a giggle ! Who remembers Convoy, and the U.K Convoy version. I just went and google C.B radios for a laugh in a moment of madness / boredom........... Appreciate this topic should be in the general part, just waiting on my membership . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vauxhallkeith Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Av still got a cb radio. Rubber duck (convoy) was a good film. Watchd it on sky just a couple weeks ago. Not many people hav cb anymore. Mobile phones became the new cb. Lol. Av still got the A track player from my mk1 cav. Most people do laugh wen u mention cb.

GerryC400 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Fair play Keith, c.b were good fun at the time, I am sure my mother in law still has some 8 tracks laying around.

Volksdevil Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Funnily enough, I dug a few of my old 'Rigs' out the other day! Planning a road trip in two camper vans and thought they would be good for that! My old handles were 'Biker boy' and Cool rider' haha! I was chatting to an older guy on it when I tried it, he just kept saying "Aye, it's not like it used to be" -- I imagined him sat with a whisky shaking his head!

vauxhallkeith Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Aye u can certainly hav fun with them in the camper vans. Big cb ariel on the roof. They myt cum back in fashion 1 day. But mobile phones hav definatly killd off the cb. A wouldnt be surprised if the guy was drunk on the other end off the cb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I had a YORK rig on my then Land Rover and my handle was "THE KINGFISHER", as I was a very keen trout and salmon angler in those days, my mate who worked on the roads was " Flashing Amber" cos of the lamp on the roof of his tractor. I had 14 for the " GODFATHER" one day so I picked the mike up and answered, He's in bed with a horse's head. He told me to Piss off. no sense of humour at all!!! That would have been in the 70s.
