Re: Remember Bubble Cars

Yes I remember the bubble cars too! Weird looking things.

Fred Talbot, the TV weatherman who was done for sexually abusing kids he was teaching, used to drive around in one to various places of interest for a TV programme. Used to make me giggle watching it.

Re: Remember Bubble Cars

Who remembers these horrible looking disabled cars from the 70's? I'm sure they were extremely useful for disabled people at the time but today's adapted cars are so much nicer.

Bloody dangerous things!!! - Because they were made from fibre-glass, not steel, they were far too light and in a high wind were prone to be either blown across the on-coming carriageway in the path of on-coming traffic, or be blown over on its side!!!
