#107-A year or so before this, Bruce 302 and I were at Selwyn College and one of our classmates used to roll up in an iridescent blue 56 Coupe- same as one above- Doug and the Heavy Chevvy Parker Brigade.
The occupants always wore parkers........
Car was Dougs uncles..........

And #106- Pure Heaven was Pure Hell for whoever paid the bills on Bruce Croydon Thompsons rail
