[NovaLad]

[vaughanmc]

red nova + adidas sambas + vauxhall jacket + paul weller playing = a friday night for me lol

[bump]

Various guitar amps from the 60's / 70's.

70's Valve Hi-Fi amp, Bakelite 600 series phone (pre BT).

Still wear flares.

[Jack]

lol @ 70's man Bump :D

is the 80's/90's not retro anymore...
No, that'd just old.

[craig green]

Retro is a mk1 Nova with orange indicators & the 1 peice grille/bumper.

Retro is breaking down in said Nova & being man enough not to want/need AA assistance.

Retro is any kind of Astra GTE or mk2 Cavalier Sri.

Retro is what your Dad does!

[Mike]

a radio from Germany, that still has a "made in West Germany" sticker on it! Proper old skool analouge, and it runs on pressure valves belive it or not!

Also a wickedy boo 70's fibre optic light that was bought from Bavaria in 1971 IIRC and it still works fine too

[craig green]

Black & white TV with the bendy aerial thing & a tuning knob to find the channels.

Binatone I think it was. parents wont chuck it out despite having about 8 colour TVs.

we have one of them :D and it stil works fine too :D

[Jack]

I think I have some olllld Lego around somewhere. Complete with crazy box and pictures of 70's child playing with said Lego lol

My dad used to have a '74 1850 Dolomite with overdrive, that was proper retro (although it was BRG instead of the nasty-but-cool-in-a-70's-fashion-style beige/brown/yellow ones lol) but sold it a couple years back :(

[craig green]

There must be some kind of mythical force within them preventing anyone from parting company with it.

My parent actually have less regard for a 12" SHARP colour TV with remote & text than the old B&W thing. Crazy!

[craig green]

LEGO is retro cool. Infact all the toys & stuff my bro handed down has all got pics of kids with awfull hair cuts & stuff.

That brings me on to the countless pairs of Dunlop Green Flash I used to get handed down. There was a pair in every size waitin for me as I grew up.

hahaha yeah my rents have it up in there room :D altho that was pruchased when they lived in germany, along with a lot of the stuff we've got stashed away here, so i suppose its the memories of Bavaria tbh :confused:

[vaughanmc]

does Scalextric(sp) count

i have a fair amount of cars from that and a track somewhere..

[NovaLad]

i have a amega ... does that count ...

[Ash]

Ah! yes - i've got an BBC (or ABC) computer - 6 colours and could only draw triangles or squares.

Dad has some ace stuff, such as a '62 fender strat, vox AC30, '72 Ginetta G15 some proper rayban's. Come to think of it my '84 Strat SS, Crate VC-20.

[Kinky Monza]

My 1984 Opel Monza lol

[Dar]

Ah! yes - i've got an BBC (or ABC) computer - 6 colours and could only draw triangles or squares.


I have a ZX81. Thats not cool though, its just damn old. I also have pretty much all the old consoles as well.

I used to have a BBC Micro (Acorn computer). That was a fantastic machine. It could do whatever you wanted though, not just triangles and squares. Loads of video modes as well. The number of colours you had depended on the video mode you where in.

I don't think I have anything else retro apart from the Nova and maybe the wife.

[womble sri]

i have a pair of dunlop green flash trainers which ar old school which pushes the pedal of my mk1 nova which opens up my dellortos. all are pretty retro i suppose

[draper]

[General Baxter]

[vaughanmc]

that old ford would be retro with some MiniLites on it -- but that could also waste the originality...

its a 'cool-oldie' lol

[Ash]

old as standard, bit of work = retro.

my mates just bought a Mk1 jetta in gold/brown - within two days it was sat on its ass on minilites lol love it.

The evo went in june last year to make way for some properties.

That classic is just for the summer time and taking to shows with my dad. It's absolutely spotless underneath and on top. very slow, but probably turns heads as much as my old evo did!! lol :)
