The Steel Guitar Forum

Believe it or not an SD10, amp, seat, and two cabinets all fit in the trunk. Darn nice little car.

And this one is just to drive James K. crazy...

I prefer a little more modern stuff. Here's mine:

My bike.



Wifes bike.

I was a sophmore in high school when this baby was made. At that time I was playimg a Silver Rickenbacker Deluxe Jerry Byrd eight string lap steel,which I wish I stil owned.

I have owned this "poor mans' Ferrari" since new, 1991 Toyota MR2. I can actually fit my steel, pack-seat and amp in this car if I travel alone....

two of my favorite rides.



sold the bike the other day. feel very lucky to have survived 50 solid years of riding motorcycles.

My first car, a 1957 Austin A35.


My second car, a 1960 Jaguar Mk. II.


My third car, a 1961 Hillman Minx Mk II.


My fourth car, a 1973 MGB Roadster.

All of those pictures were taken in Wales, by the way, on my way from Birmingham (my home town) to Ffestiniog.


To round it off, here is a recent photo of the 1932 Franklin that my daughter is restoring.

Always happy to oblige. She's one of my favourite subjects.

Oh! THAT's your daughter?! I loved her in Downton Abbey! (p.s. I hope she finds her boyfriend...)

I think I finally found the perfect steel guitar "gigging" rig. Very quick and easy to park right on the corner of the stage. Make sure you have an extra helmet to keep the amplifier safe and you're ready to go!!

This was given to me by Sandra's Uncle. He bought it brand new off the showroom floor in 1965. It's a 66GT, 289, and fun to drive.

Hey Ray .... Does that Pony have a four speed stick or automatic? It still looks brand new!

My retirement project: 55 1st series, just put in new floors, lots more welding to go!

This is so much fun! Just great! Thanks to b0b for letting us admire each others Steel Guitar Transporters.

My Dad's first car. a 1934 Morris 8. During WW2 no cars were produced in Britain as the automobile manufacturers were all turned over to military vehicles, so while I was growing up in the 40s and 50s the country was full of pre-war cars, many of them in barely drivable condition.


In 1986 I bought this Vokswagen Cabriolet. I wrecked it about three weeks later.


We currently have two cars; this 2000 BMW 280i...

...and this 1990 Acura Integra LX.

Wait a minute... which one is Susan?

It'll carry as much as a van.
