    I get a divide by zero error on the car thing (don't have one).

    The value of the music collection considerably exceeds that of the hi-fi, but I've got far too many records and CDs to try and work it out exactly (or even approximately).

    Hifi retail to car retail about 0.13 :eek:
    Hifi retail to car current about 0.4

    Problem is I'm a petrolhead aswell as an audiophile :) . I'm fortunate enough to be able to indulge both hobbies.

    No car.

    I'd imagine RRP on my music collection would be MOre than my hifi. As it should be :)

    I've got the Fabia vRS, so it can go up from 130+ to about 190 bhp with a remap, and up from 230 lb ft of torque to 325 lb ft :JPS:

    Wont be for a while, but never say never, but I have to say, even as standard, it is a seriously quick car ;)

    What about you? You gonna have it done? :D

    Haha nice one, the Octy is a great Q-car, perhaps the Fabia will become a barry boy car, but I hope not. I am not in any rush for remap, but then I dont take it on tracks, and its huge torque (more than a Boxster S) ensures that not many cars will lose me on a motorway and overtaking is a piece of piss :D

    No, you need to spend more on your hi-fi. :)

    Infinity here too - although my hifi to BIKE (as in push bike) quotient is probably quite high - I guess my hifi/av kit is worth about 8k so a guestimate is 24:1

    Steve - are you valuing your speakers at what they cost you or what you sell them to the public at? :D

    Re: Re: What's your Hi-Fi Motor Quotient?

    Well, much as I love my speakers, I must confess that they need other equipment to work at their best - power amp(s), pre-amp, turntable, phono stage, cdp, supports, cables, snake-oil.

    I tend to estimate a likely 'current value' of the whole.

    PS: Have you seen my car?
