You forgot about my '68 Camero with the Chevy 327/350 HP small block engine, Toby!!! I could lay rubber in all 4 gears, baby!!! God I miss that car!!!
Saw a Beautifully restored Anglia here in Albuquerque last summer⌠made me want to track one down & restore it - until I found out how much the guy had to pay for a new electrical system!

LOL, I keep telling my son âDo NOT give away my vinyl when I kick off! Some of itâs worth serious money!â
I sold my record player for 4 times what I paid for it !?!
Reminds me my mum has heaps of 1st issue Beatles and picture disks etcâŚ
Ee gads a 69 SS Camaro was my all time favourite US muscle car.
But in the UK we had what we had. And despite my affinity with 32Bs Iâd always go for a 34 Tudor.
My first motor was a 69 Sunbeam Imp Sport a bit like this
But mine was a bit shoddy. Donât stack against those Stateside motahs !
Way COOL! so many righteous cars & guitars!
Not enough time to drive & play 'em all!!!

As a teen in the `70s the bulk of my music collection was on cassettes as they were more portable and the deal from Columbia House for tapes was better than it was for records. The few records I did have were poached from my older sister. I abandoned tape as soon as CDs became a thing and havenât looked back since. Like everyone else, I converted to digital and after ripping my collection to FLAC it now lives in a storage locker I visit two or three times a year.
Never got to buy the American dream motors, as back then it was all about the bikes.
I bought myself a record player back in 2016 and started collecting vinylâs again but they have now priced me out of the market, so Iâve switched to second hand CDâs.
Iâm convinced that folk who buy vinyl are really into their music.
Iâm also convinced that the vast majority of them consume most of that music in digital format but buy the vinyl for a wide range of reasons, with âhigher quality soundâ being towards the bottom of that list.
If you enjoy supporting a band by buying their merch, owning something âuniqueâ, collecting, reading sleeve notes and looking at artwork in your hand rather than on a screen, and the ritual of putting a record on a turntable, then vinyl is probably for you.
I ripped my CD collection (1990-2010) to my pc years ago and keep them up in the attic for whenever the internet and spotify die, so Iâll still have a decent selection of music to enjoy 
I just found a record the other day that someone was throwing away. When I looked at it it was rare album, at least here I the us. Itâs a Beatles album but is a British release. So I guess I saved it from the landfill to let it live another day.
Great save Jeff.
While I donât collect records. I do have that one. And the next one, and the next one, and the next one. All on the parlophone label. Some of the singles and EPâs (extended play, 2 cuts on a side, on a 45rpm record) too. Then the ones after Parlophone too, but on the Apple label.
It was just what I was listening to back in the day. + there was a real cool record store/head shop in my city where you could get near any record ya wanted.
Now a days, my record player donât work. 
Really gotta get that fixed or replaced.
Ya can see why several songs Iâve posted up here are Beatle Songs.
Iâm still infatuated.
âWhen Iâm 64â 
Thatâs pretty cool Jeff! Do do own/have access to a working turntable?
Tod
I do and this plays perfect no skips and sound great
Hubby and I have lots of vinyl, his collection from the early days, mine (we have a lot of crossover, too). I inherited my dadâs collection, some of which are 78s, and I have my brotherâs because he didnât take them with him when he moved to Europe. I also still have my turntable, but it needs a new belt so itâs not functional, and I have my older sisterâs turntable, which does work as well as my brotherâs turntable that also works.
Unfortunately, all that stuff is still in boxes while we continue working on the finishing building this house! lol Iâd love to set something up with my old Onkyo receiver and new speakers. Maybe next year⌠
Oh you have to ,there is nothing like hanging out listening to some vinyl records. The sound is just the best. When you get a chance do it. My family will start dancing and singing when the records ar3 spinning.
I remember back in high school spending a lot of time admiring Stevie Nicks on the back of the Rumours LP
I always liked the vinyl albums that included lyrics, too, because I didnât always know what was being sung. The theme song from the TV series âSuitsâ is a good example of incomprehensible lyrics 
My foray with Vinyl was rather expensive, I had quite a few albums that I mostly only played once on the system I had at the time to record onto a decent quality cassette tape, then they got put away until the tape either got chewed up (usually in the car) or the quality dropped. But then my interest in Classical music spiked and prompted me to go down the route of Deutsche Grammophon vinyl and a Linn Sondeck system ÂŁÂŁÂŁÂŁÂŁ! It was a bit (as in huge) revelation, the sound quality was unreal! So I also started playing my albums on it as well and found that I was hearing things I hadnât heard before!
When we moved into a smaller but more modern house it became obvious that my system wasnât going to fit, so unfortunately it had to go together with my record collection. On the positive note it helped our budget during the first year, we had really pushed ourselves with our budget for the house. Now I donât collect any music, I use Spotify premium mostly it suits my needs.
What a great thread. Love Vinyl. A few years ago I was persuaded NOT to get rid of my LPâs and instead I decided to collect the âTop 100 albums of all timeâ. Well, thereâs lots of lists of top 100 albums and of course theyâre all different. Suffice to say 5 or 6 years later Iâve got a significant collection from Jazz thru Jazz Fusion thru Blues thru Blues Rock thru Folk thru Folk Rock thru Jazz Folk thru Indie, thru Classical and so on. Itâs been a great âvoyage of discoveryâ. I happen to like vinyl. Music is music is music whatever the medium.
