Audio equipment and cars...enthusiast thread...

I drive a Segway Human Transporter.
Goes about 8 miles on a 10 cent charge. Zero maintenence, no pollution, no sounds, no traffic and no parking problems.

The most fun you can have standing up!

So how's Dean Kamen doing these days? Segway was a bit of a flop....no? Anyway, shall I assume that your amp is battery powered as well....Rowland??

for me, i just like classic designs - from electronics, to furniture, kitchen cabinets & appliances, lamps, clothing, and ofcourse, automobiles (although i have yet to learn how to drive...)

i am an engineer/designer wannabe, but too lazy and talentless to be one. so i am literally paying for it (not being an engineer/designer).

i am also just a dreamer who wishes his investments in options will sky rocket someday so i can buy all the great designs of the world.

audiogon, audio asylum, and audio circle are like therapy for me. thank god for them!

Elgordo, You said....

I have a Nikon D70 and a 1911 government model .45 automatic which has had a LOT of custom work and sports a hard chrome matte finish and rosewood grips. It is a pleasure to look at and to shoot.

I can relate.

I have A Nikon F5 and a D1X, plus two Custom Colt Officers 1911's. One custom built by Wilson and one by Carter (about 3K each).

I also love cars, when I was young I raced big block GM stuff (late 1960's), later graduated to Porsche and when I got married and I had to be "responsible, moving into turbo Volvos with approved "hot" after market packages.

Currently I drive a GMC Yukon. It's the appropriate vehicle to haul all my photo gear and keeps me from harm from the crazy drivers where I live.

Still, I look at it and realize I’m becoming too "mature."

ahh, uhurit, my "fancy pants" M3 will eat your Viggen as a light snack. Enjoy your ride without insulting others, especially when your claims are laughable.

As far as the original thread topic, I simply appreciate elegant mechanical engineering and beauty. To design something of beauty is one thing...but to couple that with high function & performance is an achievement indeed!
