  1. I wonder why YouTube recommended me a 1989 episode of #BBC #Crimewatch - turns out there was a 1982 #GolfGTI used as a getaway vehicle in one of the segments (multiple armed #robberies on train stations in South #London)

    There was a lot more #crime then compared to today, much of it seemed to be fuelled by rampant inequality (as well as #cars being way less secure than today, and a lot more #cash being handled by businesses)

    in 2025 someone in same part of London had their Mk1 Golf (just normal model, but now a #ClassicCar) nicked, but it was all over Facebook and multiple folk saw it and called #Metpol - thieves soon got nicked and he got his car back..

  2. @chromblitzen That’s a spectacular rarity from the defunct British #Wolseley brand. 🤩

    The “Bourdon Montrouge” badge is usually associated with the #Citroën #TractionAvant, coming from one of the largest Citroën dealers in France. A very popular accessory for Traction owners.
