Oh my.........that picture brings back nightmares.........I worked on alot of those cars. Lets say the Swedes build a very different car. Everyone notice the engine is sitting backwards in the engine compartment??

Same! In addition, I have 100s of 7inch singles from bands that don't exist any more, demos from bands that got big etc. They are all just sitting in crates in my cellar. I don't even have a turn table any more.

actually it turns out after further conversation with the previous owner that it was possibly repainted by the original owner before him, his memory is a bit faint. Certainly No less beautiful, but maybe explains why it seems so much nicer than the "rootbeer" bianchi color i though it was.

Even still though im not convinced as it does still have a shop sticker and the Old columbus decal.... hrmm

Nothing...In fact, I need to sell some crap.

Catharsis moment: This has been on my mind since reading this post, and I don’t know why. As a teenage rockstar wannabe, I owned a sunburst Fender Telecaster that someone had placed a decal behind the headstock on, “Rain”. I was a ragin’ guitarist back then, played lead guitar and sang the bluesy “Stormy Monday” at my highschool talent event my senior year. After graduation, I wanted to move-on into the world. I sold the Telecaster and Peavey amp for a pittance and stuck my hand up for military service.

Joining the military was a good decision for me at that time, selling ‘Rain’ haunts me still.

We need more detail!!! Seeing as how you're in Boston, I'm picturing really unusual Modern Lovers stuff, Del Fuegos...maybe some Cars...dare I even dream, some Pixies, Muses, Blake Babies, Evan Dando and Dinosaur Jr???

Guilty confession time...I LOVE the J Geils band.

buldogge

I was hoping he had even more early Boston hardcore than me. Speaking of which...I have a 7" with Dino Jr. covering Last Rites! ...and I'm sure I have some Lemonheads stuff...

BTW...J. Geils was my first concert, Boston Garden, 78 or 79, my Dad took me...used to love those guys.

What the ... I don't even.

Raleigh Track Frame / Forks - Ilkeston SBDU

My 60's Bandmaster and original Echoplex EP-2. Gah. What an idiot.

I also regretted selling my Japanese tele copy but then got it back a year or so after I sold it!

As for bikes? Nah. I can always get more at deals.

Sold this 1976 TdF on Ebay last winter and the dirtbag that bought it parted it out if it had been just a bit larger I'd have kept it. I'd still love to get my hands on the guy that parted it out.



This Batavus was gaspipe but it was big enough for me, I really should have kept it.

I had a 83. Ggreat little car in between broken rear motor mounts. LOL

Still miss my 73 VW412 wagon more though.

Bike wise...the Lotus I had. Paid too much for it, found the frame to be bent. I think it got pinned to the garage wall wall by a bumper the way it was twisted. Imagine taking it by the head tube and rear hub and twisting. The fork was also raked. I got it back to straight after a lot of work but it always bothered me that it had been bent. Something caught my eye one days so I sold it to fund the buy. Wish I had kept it now.

I can't believe anybody would do that to a beautiful bike.

Miyata 1000 I bought off CL for 200 to flip. Made several hundred but it was my size and I doubt I'll come across a reasonably priced one again.

Rocket-Sauce 

Not quite that old
... Mostly Hardcore + Ska stuff from the 80s-90s from Boston, NY and DC with a bit of "garage music" (what we called "grunge" before there was a term "grunge"). Gang Green, Slapshot, SS Decontrol, Wrecking Crew, Jerry's Kids, Agnostic Front, Youth of Today, Cro-Mags, Murphy's Law, Biohazard, Madball, Bad Brain, Minor Threat, Sick of it All, Sheer Terror, DYS, Bosstones, Beastie Boys, Warzone, AOD, Misfits, Toasters, Breakdown, Allstonians, NY Citizens, Bim Skala Bim.... I could go on...

I had an '84 GTI which I adored. The original "pocket rocket". Unfortunately it got crunched between two full-size chunks of American rolling steel when it was car #3 in a 5 car pileup.

Ended up with a series of newer VWs, but they never matched the tossability of the '84.

southpawboston

Some of those bands were a little before my time, but I did see the Pixies live in '87, at a small venue during my first year in college in Boston. Dinosaur Jr? Yup...met Lou Barlow backstage in Northampton around 1990-ish, and again in 1995 in San Diego during during the Bakesale tour.

TheOtherGuy

I think that honor went to the original Abarth Fiats, or the original Cooper Minis... GTi was just the original "hot hatch".

I should have known you guys were going to get into audio and music again...


I miss this setup quite a bit:




I had so many good sessions on it, and even though I kept the bigger, more full functioned organ, the layout/ergonomics of this setup made it far more inspirational. The Moog synthesizer was perfect. I had a clairvoyant understanding of it's ins and out, and could dial almost any timbre I wanted with ease and precision. The two instruments blended amazingly, and the re-purposed tube preamp, the item I miss the most, will make anything that goes through it sound 1000% more juicy and just... alive. It was a great prog setup.

I did trade it for a Twin Reverb, few Roland synths that I sold for good money and received a sum of cash that was probably more than the rig is worth. So, I didn't do all that bad.

rat fink

Yes, and I'd gladly give up my sleeping space if I for a pair (or La Scalas).
