Remember the Sony Walkman - a walk down memory lane.

[Grant Fondo]

On the subject of car stereos, a work colleague bought a 2004 BMW 320i Coupe and it has a cassette player but no CD player. It's a nicely specced model with leather seats etc and the stereo and the speakers would have been a decent bit of kit so in it's time, it just seems odd that a reasonably upmarket car would have come as recently 2004 with what would have been an outdated sound system even then.

The first car CD player I remember seeing would have been in my uncle's 1991 Granada Ghia.

BMW had the cheek to charge £100 for the basic cd player around then, I (reluctantly) coughed up!

I had one of these that I bought with my first student grant, before I drank the rest of it away. 😊
