I got Married because I was sick and tired of finishing my own sentences.
That's worked out great for me!

They're pretty much all made in China now, not Germany as Bman mentioned. Blaupunkt is also owned by Bosch now and is just a name brand they've kept.

Thanks for the link though, still one of my favourite brands :)

Weird thing: Where we used to live in the mountains, we used to have to wait until night to get CFUN 'on the skip'.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFTE

CFUN had two successful promotions in the 70s. One was called "Don't say Hello" - *When the phone rang and you answered "I listen To CFUN" - you won a thousand dollars. The other contest that CFUN used to raise its profile was "The CFUN Sticker" where people placed stickers on their rear window and if they were spotted they won prizes.
The deejay line-up during the 70s included radio personalities such as Fred Latremouille with "Latri-Mornings", Bob Magee, Russ Tyson, Peter Benson, J. Lee Smith, Jim Hault, Tom Lucas, Daryl Burlingham, Terry Russell (Roger Kelly), Tom Jeffries, Jack Casey, and Russ "Too Loud" McLoud.

I wonder how many men asked for their 10 bux back. [icon_lol2.gif]
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?
