This place might also have the TV mounted up on the wall in a cage . And of course green or pink bathroom fixtures, lol . Might be too early for shag carpet though .

Definitely classic. I think the tv’s in the cages , which were bolted to the wall and open in the front so you could see the screen but not open enough to pull the tv out were in Nicaragua and or Costa Rica , can’t remember exactly but I have a photo somewhere which I will post if I can find it later . Obviously in an upscale neighborhood , lol .

Those days are long gone along with "Pay as you go toilets" and one of my favourite poems.

Paid a dime and only farted"

My buddy and I went to Montreal on the train to watch the Leafs lose to Montreal. That weekend was my last memory of pay toilets. In Eatons, no change but a severe need to use the facilities. Amazing how fast you can climb a wall.

The brainchild of Holden designer Richard Ferlazzo, the stunning 2005 Holden Efijy demonstrated the design flexibility of the original 1953 FJ Holden – in its ability to be restyled and reimagined as a swooping, gangster-inspired two-door coupe.
A fully functioning concept, the Efijy’s seductive fibreglass body was built on a Corvette chassis originally destined to be crushed. A 6.0-litre LS2 V8 with a supercharged 480kW – mated to a four-speed auto – meant the Efijy had the oomph to match the looks. Built to an original budget of $200,000, many hours from Holden employees were volunteered, making the Efijy a classic passion project.

Interesting vid on that Manta .... skip to around 8:02 to hear what it sounds like
It does look better with the top on . And doesn’t sound bad either I must admit.
