Listen up......a bit of psychology.......if your not into that sort of rubbish, don't read this!! The human mind is a wonderful thing, mention a name and it takes off in a Google like frenzy searching for connections with similar threads. There has not been a huge response to the original title, as I suspect all the yards of interest had disappeared at the end of the 1970's. Now I know that a lot of the contributors here are of an age that will remember such yards, but then again a lot aren't. You would have to have been born at least by 1950 to have any memory of them. So perhaps we could slightly modify the title of this thread from...car yards with........to, car YARNS with Motorsport connections. A term you dont hear much these days is....someone with a 'one track mind'. That person can focus on one thing to the exclusion of all others. Fortunately most of us can do some lateral thinking and allow ourselves the luxury to drift in all directions. Might I suggest, with the permission of our co-ordinator of course, that instead of creating ANOTHER thread, we adopt a lateral thinking mode in car yards/yarns, while perhaps keeping the original title as our heading. Obviously when a good subject comes up we can concentrate on that in another title, but there are masses of little anecdotes out there that can't support a thread of their own and will be lost forever if not jotted down. I know that a lot of people are shy about writing things down as they think they are not 'educated' enough. I edited a car club magazine years ago and had the very devil of a job to get members to contribute. I told them that, I, as editor would 'clean up' their grammar if necessary before publication....but no. A lot of members were just happy to look and read even though they ALL had a story to tell. But thats OK..takes all sorts, and the fact that increasing numbers of lookers are plugging into 'the roaring season' shows there is big interest out there. There are similar forums going on all over the world and I note that one is having a bit of strife at the moment because someones 'comments' have upset someone else. I have been repeatedly told that this is a FRIENDLY forum of like minded enthusiasts for sharing photos/memories/ stories etc.....keep it light.....don't get stroppy. I'm trying.
