ID those cars!

Ford Cortina, Mitsubishi Colt Mirage & Celeste, Izuzu Gemini, 3 Corollas- isang silver edition (kulay white) a DX (?) liftback (in front of the Cortina) and another one na kulay green beside the silver edition and I'm not sure what the other white one is beside the green corolla... a Toyota Crown or Cressida?

The red car could be an Opel Ascona.



70s Opels were good looking cars. They had a simple style and nice proportions.

Note the Hofmeister kink, the bend in the C-pillar. A design feature also seen in BMWs.

Mid variant yang SL, meron pa S, and the TOTL SLX

the jingle shouted, "you and i! and gemini..."

Used to be most of the high rise constructions in Binondo/ Manila and Makati are by the architectural firm of the brothers Gilbert and Willy Yu.
For the longest time I was wondering saan na kaya sila? Parang bigla silang naglaho.

I think they are now known as G & W Architects.

JD.

and everyone's excuse for tardiness... del pilar transit! (baclaran-monumento via taft and avenida.)

in those days, when it rains, akyat mga lawanit, and bus turns into a dark sauna.

nung panahon ko sa elementary school, ina-almirol din ang khaki pants namin.

[remzam]

ROTC days naka almirol din ang uniform. Para snappy tingnan. Lalo na mga Rayadillo.

our combat boots always had to be shiny.
until one guy got a brilliant idea. he wore regulation canvas tropical boots.
within a month, halos lahat samin, ay naka-canvas boots na rin.

[baludoy]

Until now naga-almirol nanay ko kasi yun na nakagawian niya at mas matibay daw ung damit at mga bedsheet,punda, etc...

I prefer almirol kesa downy or any fabcon, nangangati ako sa chemical na ginamit sa fabcon. O baka hnd lang ako sanay. [emoji3][emoji3]
