The original Zoids (wind up plastic things)
and Rough Riders, like little tiny monster trucks with big knobbly foam tyres

Don't forget to click your fingers


Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell,
But I've been seen with Farrah.
I'm never seen with anything less than a nine, so fine.

I've been on fire with Sally Field,
Gone fast with a girl named Bo,
But somehow they just don't end up as mine.

It's a death defyin' life I lead,
I take my chances.
I die for a livin' in the movies and TV.
But the hardest thing I ever do
Is watch my leadin' ladies
Kiss some other guy while I'm bandagin' my knee.

I might fall from a tall building,
I might roll a brand new car.
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.

I never spend much time in school
But I taught ladies plenty.
It's true I hire my body out for pay, Hey Hey.

I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs,
Blown up for Raquel Welch.
But when I end up in the hay it's only hay, Hey Hey.

I might jump an open drawbridge,
Or Tarzan from a vine.
'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.

Isn't it strange, i cant imagine kids having second hand bikes anymore, not like we had, my Dad bought me a second hand Grifter but got some new Stickers for it and I loved it , He also hammerited my Tomahawk in 70's-tastic green and I was so grateful to just have a cool bike, this day and age your average kid would want an 800 quid Marin and would probably still moan about that
I had a second hand chopper and fordsport jay had a new grifter

im tempted to buy a vic 20 or 64 off ebay for a laugh. About 40 quid with a million games

The coloured lines round the TV as it loaded, then it would crash and you had to turn that little screw to tune the tape in better
