Title: Piglets Cousin??
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on July 13, 2006, 14:28:47: I've into been to Leeds this morning to look at a new toy :-$

As I on my way in & had just come off the 'feeder' that joins Hunslet Road near Guy Salmons & South Accomodation, this 110 windowed Hard-Top pulled in front of me.

An interestingly laid out plate

It's very good, I was about to write a comment about legality, but then I realised I didn't have a piece of headgear to consume...

Now why should I go through Leeds to get to Barnard Castle??
(it's up the A1, more or less, in Teesdale)

No, it was something else, a fair bit cheaper as well :wink:

I think I've mentioned it on here before

Or wheels????

Although, admitedly, I was looking at a new Trek (http://www.trekbike.co.uk/2007/bikes.php?sec=overview&MainCatID=1&SubCatID=1&RangeID=0&ID=171) the other day.
However, my Dyna-Tech titanium hasn't been out of the garage for an absolute age :oops:
So no, it's not a new bike.

Toss up between an Aston or a Lambo? Which one would look better with a 2" Lift, Mud-Terrains and covered in Mud-Club Stickers :lol:

*Insert comment about too much bloody money*

Hehe, it would be nice to even have the choice...without it being a dream!

Hmm, you buying a helecopter then BTM?

No, but I do know of 2 within, perhaps, 10miles (in a straight line) from here that live in the owners gardens.
Loads of money there

Not a helicopter, but there would be wire & wood involved.

In comparative terms, perhaps as expensive?

Could it be along the lines of a threshing machine seeing as you appear to be a fan of things ancient and agricultural ?

It'd be nice alnong with a ploughing engine, haven't got the room though.
However, this pair of Fowler ploughing engines
(http://www.cheffins.co.uk/catalogues/images/vintage/tractorssteam/2006/VINT0607t/1695.jpg)

Which were named 'Fame' & 'Fortune' just went to auction & realised Ã‚Â£148,000 for the pair

What are you implying about my Landie & my wife? :x :wink:

Nice guess, but still wrong

I added whilst posting on 'T&T' a question about another type of stringed instrument, that I don't think I can justify Ã‚Â£1900 to SWMBO on a guitar, especially as I hadn't even picked one up in 20years until that Gretsch

However, if I could play like this man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfyYSPQY4mQ&search=Brian%20Setzer) I'd find a way of justifying spending it :lol:

Beatles??
No, not for me
Title: Piglets Cousin??
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on July 30, 2006, 23:15:33: Out of curiosity
I've just been pricing up the Gretsch 6120SSLVO (http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/index.php?product=G6120SSLVO&cat1=&cat2=Artist+Signature+Models&q=&st=1) I mentioned above, as that's the signature model I'd like.

In the US it's $4,400, which equates to UK Ã‚Â£2,362, plus all the import duties, distributors cut, shop mark-up, VAT, etc... :shock: ........

I don't think I'll dare ask the 'bottom line' price for it

Yes it was quite sweet, but it's the Setzer range for me :wink:

Although the 'Regal Blue' 6120 does nothing for me
(http://www.gretschguitars.com/repository/gretsch/images/G6120SHB_md.jpg)

The 'Green Tiger Flame' isn't too bad

As seen on the cover of the 'Cats' first LP

(which reminds me, a Double-Bass would be fun, played one a couple of times :lol: )

Without wishing to get into a musical arguement, is that really playing, or just showmanship?
Surely it's all over-dubs & effects pedals, etc....?

Setzer hardly uses any effects to get his sound :wink:
