I have to admit that Chevelle SS has a special place in my heart. I owned a '69 Oldsmobile 442 with a H.O. 455 engine that shares the same body as that Chevrolet. I still wish I kept the old girl....hence the "442" in my name!

Sadly as a stupid 17 year old, I never took pics, rarely maintained it and it wasn't exactly a gem when I bought it. It was WELL used and had seen many salt covered winter roads.....but boy did that beast take off from the line and guzzle gas like a drunken sailor. I loved every moment of ownership.
I long for the day I'll be able to buy a minty '69 442 again...but the wife just motions "mid-life crisis" and reality comes back.

Now if I can get rid of the wife on the other hand...hmmm :)

The Pioneer was expensive for a car boot sale. I have a black one already. They’re tricky to rebels but I might make an offer if it’s there next week.

TBH, I would probably have bought all of those! I'd love to find a car boot near me with one decent Walkman, let alone a bevvy of lovely boomboxes! Finger's crossed, this year.......!!

Not much in the way of quality boxes. I took the vintage fan. 2nd one of these I’ve picked up. All metal and reliable

Spider Man's seen better days.

I have to admit I'm kind of attracted to the yellow Bakelite radios on the right hand side of the 7th pic from the top. They look awesome.

Thanks for the tour HR!

Went to my 1st boot sale yesterday, absolutely nothing of interest at all! Only box I saw was a Panasonic RX-550, but it wasn't for sale as the guy was using it on his stall. Oh well, there is always next weekend......

most of those are reproductions of the old Bush models. They’re always a lot of those around.
