BTW - I wasn't being tight. Our part of the money was a round £100 whatever he was buying. The rest made up of other relatives' gifts and savings from his jobs.
-
Vintage V300m - not because it was cheapest at £200 but simply because it was best ! Beautiful tone, projection, construction, playability and looks.
-
We looked in the £500 range and looked at Sigma, Taylor, Yamaha, Epiphone, Faith... And came back with this:
-
Acoustic. First steel string.
-
Sorry Mark. Didn't spot those links. Yes. Very good. I think the playing outdoes the guitar. Well done.
-
Man. That bassist is so humongous you don't see him at first. Not my kind of thing but great stuff to slip off to an early grave to. Schmoooth !
-
That's a bit out of my way, Mark. I hope it goes well.
-
Masterful ! Where do you perform ?
-
Mark - I agree. I stopped watching Top Gear ages ago because of its boorish stunts and its lack of information on cars I could realistically expect to own. Clarksons do not trial ordinary cars for weeks, such time is needed to assess the true weakne…

's why I posted it. What a difference ! (I'm no fan of Spandau either, least of all the offensive name.)
-
All money would buy for me is freedom from fear and anxiety about my family's security - and freedom from the Boss Man. My position can be wiped out with one silly move or a swipe of the pen. Like many, I feel like I'm on a high wire without a net…

Your wife sounds lovely, Nick. Whatever Mr **** thinks he must have been mad to let her go.
-
I'd be the same. When people ask what car I'd get with the lottery money I say a top range Skoda Octavia estate. The fact is that I hate standing out. Despite my appearances here I am very quiet and introverted in real life.
-
I don't think Knopfler is faking it. He is genuinely astonished by these things and if we don't think he, of all people, would know the difference, well ! Of course, these guitars were never built for you or me, but for the discerning rich of whom…
-
Now relic it !
-
Excellent. I love the decal too.
-
It sounds very cheap for what it delivers at the price point. I'm sure it would cost thousands to buy the pedals individually.
-
I don't understand. But good to buy and cheaper than a therapist.
-
I've been in the Bath guitar shop too btw. Very interesting. I played a Hummingbird but there was not much else that impressed me at the time. Some great electrics downstairs but I don't ever play them in guitar shops. I just feel so grateful that …
-
Chosen carefully a £15k guitar should be an 'investment'. That's the owner's excuse to his wife anyway.
-
To spend £15k on a guitar I'd have to have: - sorted my own finances out - sorted my kid's finances out - sorted my family's finances out - sorted my friend's finances out... so it will happen sometime never. I'd need a pot worth literally million…
-
I don't think Knopfler is faking it. Why would he ?
-
Rhino !
-
WOW !
-
No idea. Sorry.
-
I took delivery of the Alto two days ago and it's a fun little car. A thrummy three pot engine and a large windscreen vista giving the impression that one's driving an old VW Beetle. It zips around really nicely and keeps up with the traffic up to l…
-
What is that guitar, btw ? Very sweet tone to it.
-
Sorry Derek. I must have missed this one. Darn fine guitar playing, if I may say. Good song/lyrics too !
-
My previous Suzuki has cost me £32 a month to buy over 13 years. It's still going and I'm sure I could use it but it's looking really tatty and I'm loathe to invest too much in it. I'm going to patch the exhaust and put a new wing mirror on it, ge…
-
Aye. The ENcap rating on the Suzuki is a measly 3. I can see side airbags becoming compulsory. But it's still a darn site safer than a motorbike and infinitely better than my first car. Those were the days (oily rags.) I remember cars with thre…
