Scummer Posted 28 October, 2008 Share Posted 28 October, 2008 Is being an innernet mod as cool as being a real life mod from back in the day? It's much cooler. Mods in the old days just rode around on scooters, modern mods have real power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INFLUENCED.COM Posted 28 October, 2008 Share Posted 28 October, 2008 1st A quote from an "old days mod" 2nd a quote consistent with, imo, the belief of the "modern mod" 1) "I do not live in the past by any means and there is much to be said for the present day but it will never match the absolute excitement of the sixties." -John Waters, Life of a London Mod 2) "I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator" - Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouchie's Lawyer Posted 28 October, 2008 Share Posted 28 October, 2008 Did it have loads of holes in it to fit over the mirrors? Yes it did funnily enough. I thought they were just wear and tear.

Mods from the old days were probably in their 40's and 50's when the second round of Mods came along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponty Posted 28 October, 2008 Share Posted 28 October, 2008 There was no aggro between Mods and Rockers in the 60s. There can't have been because, as everyone knows, youths have only been out of control in the last few years. Since sweatshirts came with hoods, no doubt.

The early 1950s had "Teddy Boys" now they made todays "Youth" look relatively tame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
