How it might have started

[Organboy1974]

This photo was in an album my parents gave to me a few years ago. It is of me at about 3 or 4 years old. This would be about 1977. Even at that age I would go to people's houses and seek out their washing machine and vacuum cleaner.

I was wondering whether others have similar photos that might have given indications to parents of things to come!

Can anyone identify the car in the photo? (It's a British model) No prizes sorry.

It's a Morris Marina, my dad used to have one too, long since turned to rust, probably after one of the wheels fell off when he was driving it... :S

(dunno whose this one is, it's a picture I found on the web)

Oh a Twin Carb model too! That blue one was 'P' reg I think. We had a Maxi after that. Posh with five gears LOL.

Correct, ha ha!

As for the actual subject of this thread, I don't know how my "addiction" started, all I know is I've always been interested in Vacuum Cleaners from the time I started walking.

Yeah, that's a real problem in this country, pianos falling off buildings and planes and all that, and just happen to all land on Morris marinas...

How it may have started for me, well, I'll just come right out and say it, I'm a compulsive hoarder, with an interest in what goes on inside of electrical things too...
