Oh, loads of music too (CDs, records, tapes). I used to have quite a collection of audio kit from the last fifty years or so, but due to lack of space it has had to go :(

I used to collect beerbottles. Under the condition that i emptied them myself. I had over a 70 different ones. :P But due to a lack of space i put them away. I've found a pic.

It took me some time to collect them, i'm not that much of an alcoholic :lol:

Right now, i guess i collect car-stuff, especially Volvo 300 stuff.
