An audiophile and petrolhead's musings: in the hi-fidelity, first class, traveling set - Page 132

 

But they're like tied to the mirror with Nylon and stuff!  I guess your mechanic can probably get them off.

 

 

Aww, poor thing!    Yeah, everything's going in her mouth for a while.  That's her Tricorder at the moment, so everything is getting analyzed that way.

Hey Magick, since it's not legal to wear headphones while you're driving, what're you doing in terms of car audio for these acquisitions?

 

I like it a lot....I was just at work when you initially posted it.  I like it better than the Riviera you were interested in, actually.

 

I admit, I have yet to hear a really good engine...

 

Damn.....that's one YouTube video that is worth wearing headphones for. 

Like so many of these videos though....turn off the damn music and let us just hear the car!

Okay Archimedes, I just gotta ask, y u need so many daps?
 

Yeah, that was "driving it like he stole it".....lol.

I really don't need this many. 

There's a couple ultraportables, a couple older ones I use as the take-to-work beaters, the two larger ones I use as my home units, and the one that has wifi and Android so I can download podcasts and occasionally play games and videos. 

I have a diesel whats another option   

Back to Alfas, I saw one today at night and it looked absolutely amazing 

Which one did you see veyrongatti?

As a kid, I used to see one of these around town.....

 

I remember asking my dad about it, and he said,"It's a Thing."  Thought he was messing with me at first, then he elaborated, "It's actually called the Volkswagen Thing!"  I thought it was cool in an anti-cool kind of way, although I wouldn't have chosen it over the Lamborghinis  on my wall. Funny to run across this image today.....I haven't seen or heard about one of these cars in many years.

Magick - I want to see a drag-race between the Vespa scooter (and I think of Princess Vespa...) and the Isetta. I'm guessing it'll sound like two beehives having a war, and collectively they won't break 70mph, but it would still be hilarious to watch. Either that, or do a full-on review/comparison between the two, which might be funnier.
