The Story....

This photo has a great story! In 2004, our son who was on a motorbike traversing the Russian Continent and having great adventures was being contacted by a local radio station to give a talk. We were eagerly planning to sit down and record it when a wind storm happened in our area and the power went out! I got the car - our lovely old classic Toyota Cressida, out on to the driveway and turned up the radio to full blast to listen. Just managed to hear over the top of the roaring wind noise! It was so great to hear his voice and listen to the story! We eventually got the tape from the radio station and still have it.
This IS a great story Quick thinking on your part! Do you still have the car? It's a great color and looks in good condition.

@eyesmile It was an 1984 model and no, we haven't got it any more - sold for peanuts, unfortunately!

@digitalrn It was so exciting that I could hardly deal with the noise, the electricity blackout! Im so pleased I did have a camera then!
