I saw Lionels `dancing on the ceiling' concert when I lived in Ak-it was damn good-you will enjoy listening to him live!!

Oh...my Ford Pop street rod went very fast....but my Morrie thou' Murtle didn't cos one of her wheels kept falling off!! (had no first gear or reverse either

) Ahhhh they were good days listening to Van Halen, Guns n roses and Phil Collins on Cassette!!

And now we listen to those guys on CD

**Monamie** · 18th December 2008, 08:36

Music is the universal language all right! My sis' went into one of the local shops last time she was here and asked to try one of their Gibsons....they looked down their noses at her 3 foot long blonde hair and `Hippee' style...but she stopped the whole shop in their tracks and people started flocking in off the street...all because music hits the soul when played well.

sorry ...off topic again...bad me!

Hmmm, may have to have a 'general discussion' thread

A Gibson, nice! I have one of those, a very special wee thing too

Will have to go for a WEEKEND RIDE now

I feel just about up for a ride today, might head palmy way.

The MkI I owned was very hot. Dont worry about the Victor below the Cortina, that came later and I didnt have for that long. But the MkI was named 'Iron Maiden', had walnut coloured crushed velvet on the interior roof and door panels and light brown plush pile carpet, very spanking, ok enough about cars....

My 73 then 76 datsun 120Y SSS was reasonably hot as a standard model,rally spec cam and twin 45 dellorto carbs used to slurp the go juice pretty quick,dynoed at 7500rpm and showed 100hp rolling.

Bloody great eh,we started with records,then tapes of same albums then cd and bloody dvd,no wonder musos get rich.

WTF off topic again.
