This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Here's a flyer from my old band, circa 1989. Made when "cut, copy and paste" involved scissors, a Zerox machine and Scotch tape! LOL

    You'll have to bear with some of the English car brands here, but...

    There was a punk band called "The Cortinas" (after the Ford Cortina)

    A "novelty" band called "Morris Minor and The Majors"

    "The Lambrettas" were a mod band named after the scooter maker

    Theres a band called "Beachbuggy" or "Dunebuggy" who have a CD out called "Sport Fury"

    I don't know if psychobilly rock band "The Meteors" were named after the Canadian Ford division but you can only hope.

    I'm sure there was a local band called "Bluesmobile" after that Dodge

    I also recall a band called "The Chargers" and "The Mustangs" but nothing about either of them.

    Erm that dodgy model/TV presenter Caprice put a record out once. It was as bad as you might imagine.

    "Del Fuego" were almost certainly not named after the Renault Fuego. :)

    There is (or was) a record label in London called "Edsel Recordings" who put out a lot of motown type stuff in the 80s.

    Theres a band called "Galaxie 500" but I don't know anything else about them.

    There was a one hit wonder boy band here in the 80s called "Blue Mercedes". They were awful.

    I also have a feeling tat someone's backing group was "the Rivieras" (you know, like Charlie Cool and the Rivieras or something) and I'd also be amazed if nobodys had a band or backing group called "the Wildcats." Maybe Marty Wilde did, I'd need to look it up though.

    I can think of loads of bands with cars on record covers and there must be loads of records named after cars too...

    a bit ashamed to show this picture on this forum (people walking around on my ride) Back in 1985 we made a band (Mr. Review / skaband from The Netherlands) picture on my Riv.

    And it looks like Monster Magnet is a Boattail fan
