[V8] The first trip

[Roger Woodbury]

Re: [V8] The first tripYup, it looks like it's gonna be the old cassette thingy for me, for now at least.  I blew the dust off the Walkman and found that it still works fine.  I'll buy the cassette connector and see how that works in this car.

  They have recently cracked down on the power of those FM devices,  in congested metro areas or when traveling you are constantly fighting interference.  The cassette may be a better option,  I've used on on the boat recently an the sound quality was pretty good.

  Ah, Crutchfield.  Never thought about looking at their website, although a
  long time ago I bought a radio from them for my new Scirrocco, I think it
  was.

  And senile though I am becoming, I actually own a Walkman that I used in one
  of the cars with the cassette connector which the car radio promptly
  swallowed and wouldn't give back without a lot of yelling and screaming.

  I think I'll try the FM modulator and see how that works.  Pretty cheap
  solution, and thanks to you Kent, and to everyone else on the list for being
  a great support group for those of us who are afflicted with V8itis.

  Roger
