It works!

Had the car a year now and today I tried this out:



For those of you who are too young to remember we used these before CD's. For the older ones these are a modern day 8 track replacement

Eventhough the car makes a lovely sound I love good driving music to listen to. Nothing more than a good old cassette tape!

I've got an old Dire straits tape that we used to listen to on the way to race meetings in the van as a teenager, it's got racing dust allover it. Memories.
I sometimes think it would be novel to actually fit my stereo and make it work, I'm sure I'd crash the car though.
I'm sure there's a classical piece somewhere that's totally in tune with the engine notes

Maybe 'Ride of the Valkyries' for you Al

This is a well timed topic. Only yesterday went into the loft to get all my vinyl albums to sell. Led Zep, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and similar but if anyone can tell me why I have Eddy Grant's Greatest Hits in there, I would appreciate it.

It is probably your wife's. I have it, and it is my wife's.

Eddy Grant...Good stuff! Pink Floyd endless and awesome listening.

Still got some tapes and vinyl in the loft....a few spring to mind Duran Duran on 45 hungry like the wolf, Gladys knight and the pips LP , Thriller, Lionel Richie......I think I've got shakin Stevens and Shakatak in there as well but don't tell anyone!

Ah, if only. Not been played in 30 years All original copies from the late 60s and early 70s but replaced by 1) cassettes 2) CDs 3) iPod so now I am the DJ in the passenger seat in her car we listen to them.

Nobody is admitting to a Cliff Richard album then?

Ha ha you're probably right. Got divorced over 20 years ago and she cleared out the house. Came home to pick up my stuff. Found the albums strewn across the floor. That was all that was left, no clothes, nothing. Even all my tools in the garage had gone

Only you Anthony

My sister is mad for him, been to concerts and everything, I shake my head in disbelief, my dad was a serious musician,

I was too old for Cliff.

Fresh start, N7GTX.
Looking back, perhaps not a bad thing?
I left 15 years ago with my car, computer and two suitcases.
Don't miss the rest.

Yep, agree there. Been single since although I proposed in February and she wants to run off to Gretna

I said to someone at work the other day that I've been happily married for 17 years...

She asked what the "secret" was so I told her...

..."I haven't seen my wife in ten years!"
