My Carry On collection...

[Test1]

Wait a minute!  Is this the original Cannonball Run? Really colorful and well designed image, Test!  It has that joyous, raucous feel that reminded me of the Burt Reynolds movie.
Must be on my mind, eh?   Okie

How's it going Okie.

No I can assure you Cabby has nothing to do with Cannonball Run in any way, sadly you must just have poor old Burt's passing on your mind.

Glad you like the design of the Quad though

Appreciate that Jeff

Yes, the fact that the Carry On series is so popular (especially in the UK) and the famous Chantrell did the artwork for this Quad and it having such a sexy look to it with the leggy babes helps to make it one of the most sought after of the entire series, along with all these things and the fact it's so rare it also makes it very expensive if you are lucky enough to come across one, to date this is the single most expensive poster I've bought and that won't change in a hurry, if ever!

As for watching the films Jeff, you could do a lot worse than to start with this one "Cabby" which was the 7th film in the series, the later films were more in your face with the saucy lines/humour etc. but, Cabby is a favourite of many Carry On fans and has a much more innocent warm feeling compared to later films in the series with a nice story to back it up. Other than that I'd say try and watch Carry On Screaming which spoofs the Hammer Horror series and is considered one of the genuine classics in the Carry On series

Thanks for the added tips and pointers, John.

All sounds good and like a 'watching plan of attack' to me.

Hey! Jeff,

Yes, I did hear about this sad news, it's actually the second well known Carry On actress that has passed away this month (Liz Fraser was the other one)

Thanks for the link anyway, appreciated

In the meantime I've treated myself to a book (paperback) and have attached a picture of it, it's an older book but, I've heard good things about it, so hopefully I'll learn plenty from it, fingers crossed Just to add, I've not got the book yet, only just ordered it online today!

Absolutely terrific book BTW and the author has kindly answered my dopey emails.

I agree it's a great! book, it has loads of lovely high quality pictures of many fantastic well known (and also less known) UK Quads, so if your main area of collecting is UK Quads you really can't go far wrong in buying this book
