The TOUGHEST 1978 Top Gear Cars Your GRAMPS Drove In His TEENAGE Years!

Video Description

*Apologies for the wrong flag used for Yugoslavia.* January 1979. Britain wakes to frosted windscreens and picket lines . Tanker-drivers’ strikes shut petrol stations as the Winter of Discontent bites, and on 22 January over a million public-sector workers walk out over pay on the “Day of Action”. Bins pile up, services stall , and on the radio Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick knocks YMCA off the top of the charts. In the wider world, January sees the United States and China establish full diplomatic relations, Vietnamese forces roll into Phnom Penh and topple the Khmer Rouge regime, and the Bee Gees share a New York stage for the Music for UNICEF Concert. Back in Europe, factories keep the lines crawling through the cold. Some are clinging to long-serving workhorses; others are quietly betting on small, efficient hatchbacks to carry families into an uncertain new decade.
