CB Radio nostalgia

[Mr-Tomcat]

Oh CB's blast from the past, so much fun and new friends made, you used to find strange people out at night aswell, hi Chris I bought one a few years ago to put in my first Discovery but here in Holyhead there is no one on the thing.

Andy.

[coastie]

Yes, Hi Andy!!

I'm looking for a K40 mag base at a reasonable price then I'll have mine back in the car.

[billyboy]

try for a persuader mag mount Chris. they work pretty good mate

[coastie]

I'll bear that in mind, but I already have two K40 boot mounts so would really like a magmount to go on the roof of the car.

[billyboy]

What I had in mind Chris was fitting the K40 into the base/magnetic plate of a persuader. It a good diameter size giving plenty of magnetization to your roof. I never had a persuader move on my volvo even when flat out an the whip flat along the roof

[coastie]

Oh sorry! I see what you mean now! I'll keep a look out for one of them, Bill!

[redd9]

I had a K40 in the loft and it was fantastic.
I think I was the last In Daventry to use AM (Pinback wa the handle, and before you ask no I have not had a "Pinback") and when I got wheels and went to Fm all the old names had gone.

[Trapper John]

I've only just spotted this thread!
My handle on CB was TRAPPER JOHN, after the character in M*A*S*H. At the time (early 1980's), my rig (a Colt 210 driving a DV27, then later, a Hy-Gain 5 driving a Silver Rod) was confined to my flat in the west side of Edinburgh. It was through CB that I met the lady that is now my wife......I shall refrain from ANY sarcastic comments!!!!

One nine Pirate!

Pirate copy, go channel 26.

Hello Pirate, this is Cowboy, are you going for a few brown bottles, come on?

Negative, Cowboy, I'm laying Wallpaper tonight, come on.

Oh, roger that, Pirate. Good to hear that you're doing the old place up, well, bye we gone!

Roger Cowboy, bye we gone, break break, one nine Wallpaper!!

Due to my current wheels having it's chassis painted, I spent yesterday in someone else's lorry. He has a CB in it and having had one in the past, I turned it on to see what, if anything, was happening. THe answer, apart from some muppets in Kearsley, Bolton, was a big fat nothing ALL day.
I won't be bringing mine out of retirement.
