Surely John Swanton of Coogee isn’t the only one to do a double take when noticing that the Build Your Dreams electric cars are badged with the letters BYD. “At first glance I thought it read BYO. Cheers!”
“Those foot-operated levers for the Volkswagen Beetle reserve fuel supply were great,” reckons Peter Cole of Narrabeen. “Except when your wife used it the previous day and didn’t tell you. Beetlemania!” So much messing with poor old East Ryde . Peter Miniutti of Ashbury says: “My family moved to East Ryde back in the ’60s when it was known as the “Dress Circle Estate”. Much fancier than “Belair”. Granny was going to suggest changing it to Ryde Heights but unfortunately, that name has been taken by Houston’s “premier indoor cycling studios” and appears to be inhabited by some of the most annoying people you will ever see.
