Polaroid 600 Cool thing
« on: November 07, 2011, 04:36:05 PM »

Well it was £2 in the Charity Shop and had a pack of film in ... What was I supposed to do, eh ?

The slide over close up lens and viewfinder make me smile at least.

However, even though there's a pack in there ... No noise or lights on so I guess a new pack is required as that's where the leccie gubboins all live ?

Seems like the old pack will have to be hacked for photograms ?

Here's the type.

What were we talking about yesterday....

There's a name associated to people like you...   Disposophobia...   ;)

Well, better than a Kentucky Fried Chicken Snack Box for £1.99... Film 'll cost ya a lil more though...

Sent my last empty pack to Sandeha… Give him a holla and do a round robin…

I think we agreed on "tart" as a good description of me yesterday  ;D

It's not so much the hoarding, just seeing them sitting there unloved.  There are sooooo many cameras out there, of course I want to try them all !  ;D

(They are smaller than motorbikes & scooters too, in '87 I had six in my parents garage, see, I'm cured  ;D)

And I have passed on 4 cameras in as many months to ... Do I sound like I'm desperately trying to justify something by any chance  ;D

Indeed, Miles.  PM me your addy and Miller's box can do the rounds.

PS.  I should receive my first Impossible consignment in a day or two.

I like it when a plan comes together...

Miles... At my worst the garage had a Ducati 748 and a Triumph Thunderbird Sport... Not content the spare bedroom had a restored 1957 Gilera Rossa... Dreamed of doing the Moto Giro D'Italia as it was legible... Along came lil CJ and a father and son team from Wales bought and did the race on her instead of me...   >:(

Oooooooooooo ... My first bike was a Gilera, a '74 50 Trials, freedom ... Bought it for £5 ... It looked like I'd bought it for £5 too.

That my friend, living in your house  ;D

Google for pics of the original factory at Arcore ...

Hmmmmmm ... I think your Gilera was better than mine, was it more than a fiver ?

Here's min in '84 outside my parents house, brushpainted Dulux black but I did mask and spray the Silver Stripes  ;D

Then for the heck of it, My Mum's Mog BBY430C in the drive in the Snow of '85 all with my Dad's Halina thing that he replaced his Birette with.  He referred to Camera's as "Mens Jewelery"  ;D
