A lad in my street had the Raleigh Vektor, was pretty cool when I was a kid.

"The onboard computer features elapsed time, distance travelled, speed and maximum speed achieved. Optional add-ons include a Computer Module accessory pack (trip meter, speedo) Radio Accessory pack (3 preset AM stations) and - Sound Synthesiser with 8 built in digital sounds, paddle, shifter and speakers."

The technology on my bike ammounted to one of these sirens

Some flash git on my road had the one with the optional cb style loud hailer!

Mwhaha, I had one of those. Hardly ever played with it though... dunno, it wasn't a that a great toy set. Though the thunderbird two toy that came with it was godly. I bet everyone who had it deployed their thunderbird four into their bath at some point

I also know why we all wanted Mr. Frosty... because of that jingle.

Mr Frosty he's so fun, he makes treats for everyone! Pour in the flavour, add some ice, turn the handle... MMMMmmm, thats nice!

Muh I wanted it sooo bad. At least looking back we can see why our parents never submitted. The ultimate fun for 10 minutes toy!

The 80s were clearly the golden age of kids bike design, there is nothing as cool as that on the market today.

Would have loved to have any or all of those 3 lego technic models.
The one I wanted most was this one:

I do have one of these though:

check out the custom engine.... yeeeah

edit:

Think I will have to get that model sometime, to complete a dream

I take it you have loads of lego?

I just completed the whole Lego Discovery Space set

Was expensive to do but worth it

God I loved Lego when I was little. I still enjoy playing with it today

My god, I had one of those. I used to love bombing up and down the street with the siren noise it had!

But one day I had an accident, came flying off and now scarred for life. Wrote it off.
