Welcome back to RETRO CRUNCH, your nostalgia news show that is all about Current Pop Culture, Movies, Music, and Games that relates to all things 70s, 80s, and 90s!
Of all the places I visited in the UK, there was one that stood out to me as a huge fan of Retro, and that was Harrogate, England. Harrogate is a quaint little tourist SPA town of 75k and it was well worth the drive.
I got a chance to visit not just 1, but 2 different Vintage Retro Stores in this amazingly beautiful place.
The first place I visited was the RETRO CAVE where I got to meet the owner and chit chat a little about the store.
The place was a bit small, but there was TONS of great vintage and retro finds in the store, so you could easily spend a half hour or so in there and not get to see everything.
The owner was a little camera sky but he let me film the whole store which had 1000's of cool items to look at.
He had a 1987 Commodore Amiga 500 that really caught my eye, but I knew I couldn’t haul that great find back to the US, so I had to pass it up.
There was also some really old lunch boxes, some old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figures still in the original packaging, and a TON of household knick knakcs which were great.
The store definitely leaned toward the gamer side with his collection of 100's of Retro games and consoles for sega, nintendo, playstation, and a few other systems,
but he still had a healthy amount of stuff not related to games -so I wouldn’t really call it a game store.
Let me shut up for a second so you guys can concentrate on the video and see all the totally awesome stuff this guy was selling!
So, that was the RETRO CAVE in Harrogate. Again, the ower was really cool, had a small shop that had tons of cool retro stuff, and I highly recommend you visit it if your ever near LEEDS or Northern England.
Then Next store I went to was called SPACE: Vintage and Retro. This store was also in Harrogate and just a few blocks away from RETRO CAVE. The person there would not let me video the store, so I had to take pictures to show you guys how great this place was.
It was a lot larger store and when walking in it really did feel like you had been transported back to the 1960's or 70's. There was some Beetles playing in the background and it really helped set the mood for the store.
The store consists of multiple sellers that sell vintage items, so its sorta hard to haggle with the owners on price, unless they happen to be there working at the time.
I only mention this, cause I saw a awesome SWATCH Maxi wall clock that I really wanted to buy, but I wanted to work on the price and the owner wasn’t there to talk to.
SPACE Vintage and RETRO by far had the largest collection of great vintage clothing, retro gadgets, household items, and knick knacks of all the places I saw while in England.
So, props to them for having a good idea on what people like. I would have bought most of the stuff in the store if I had the money and room for it.
And there you have it guys, The RETRO CAVE and SPACE Vintage and Retro. 2 really fun stores that are totally worth checking out.
And last thing is for my English Pal Odd Pod, who hosts the Odd Pod show, across the pond there in the UK. Man, I tried the crumpets and they were not too bad with some butter.
I really liked them with the rasberry or marmalade jam. But I have to tell you brother, I tried MARMITE and that stuff had to be the grossest thing I ever put on a muffin in my entire life.
I think you had to be messing with me, cause that stuff was gross!
HAHA..
And my last UK shoutout is for RPKvids; If your into cool little fidget toys and puzzles, he's got a cool youtube channel for that sorta stuff.
Anyways guys. I really hope you all enjoyed this video. Be sure to like, comment, and Subscribe to the channel so you can be a part of our Retro Tribe.
And remember, if it aint retro, it aint worth watching!

David Brown (1904-1993) was the legendary tractor manufacturer and post-war rescuer of Aston Martin, who bought the company in 1947, and helped create some of its best-remembered cars by donating his initials to them, then sold up in the '70s when Aston struck financial trouble.
In recent months, however, another car-making David Brown has sprung to notice. Also an entrepreneurial Yorkshireman, this new DB's business is also based on the launch a luxurious new GT car – which looks a lot like a classic Aston Martin.
The Speedback idea sprang by degrees from the fun Brown has had over the years building wild rally cars, and entering both UK events and globetrotting productions like the Paris-Peking Rally (in a '20s Rolls-Royce).
Several years ago '60s-loving Brown bought an Aston DB5 and modernised it with more power, soundproofing and better brakes. I love it, and still have it, he says, but after all that it was still a '60s car. I kept wondering how I could have a modern car with the look I liked.
Under the skin the David Brown Speedback GT, launched in Monaco in April, uses a Jaguar XKR chassis, engine and all its other significant mechanical components, but is carefully designed so virtually everything you see is unique.
Brown has ‘previous’ with the 503bhp, 5.0-litre supercharged V8 as an owner and rightly believes it's perfect for his car, woofing gently and smoothly at low revs most of the time, but eating up any straight with a delicious bark if the driver gives the accelerator a half-interested prod.
Its muscular nature is clarified in the GT's claimed performance figures, with a 0-62mph time of around 4.6sec and a top speed that's limited to 155mph.
People seem to love the Speedback, if you discount a few snide web forumers. It certainly created a stir wherever we went in Yorkshire

JAGUAR XK150
Although bearing a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, the XK150 was radically revised. A one-piece windscreen replaced the split screen, and the wing line no longer dropped so deeply at the doors. The widened bonnet opened down to the wings, and on the Roadster the windscreen frame was moved back 4 inches (102 mm) to make the bonnet longer. The car was available at various times in Red, Pearl Grey, White, Indigo Blue, Claret, Cotswold Blue, Black, Mist Grey, Sherwood Green, Carmen Red, British Racing Green, Cornish Grey, and Imperial Maroon.
The XK140's walnut dashboard was replaced by one trimmed in leather. On the early Drophead Coupés, the aluminium centre dash panel, which was discontinued after June 1958, had an X pattern engraving similar to the early 3.8 E-Type. Thinner doors gave more interior space. On the front parking lights, which were located atop the wings (fenders), a little red light reminded the driver the lights were on.[3]
Suspension and chassis were very similar to the XK140, and steering was by rack and pinion; power steering was not offered. The standard engine, the similar to the XK140, but with an new B type cylinder head, was the 3.4 litre DOHC Jaguar straight-6 rated at 180 SAE bhp at 5750 rpm but most cars were fitted with the SE engine whose modified cylinder head (B type) and larger exhaust valves boosted the power to 210 SAE bhp at 5500 rpm. Twin 1.75-inch (44 mm) SU HD6 carburettors were fitted.
XK150 S 3.4L with Pumpkin Orange cylinder head.
While the first XK150s were slower than their predecessors, the deficit was corrected in the spring of 1958 with a 3.4-litre S engine whose three 2-inch (51 mm) SU HD8 carburettors and straight-port cylinder head increased power to a claimed 250 SAE bhp.
For 1960, the 3.4 litre engine was bored to 3.8 litres, rating this option at 220 hp (164 kW; 223 PS) in standard tune or 265 hp (198 kW; 269 PS) in S form. A 3.8 litre 150S could top 135 mph (217 km/h) and go from 0–60 mph in around 7.0 seconds. Fuel economy was 18mpg.[3] Four-wheel Dunlop 12 in (305 mm) disc brakes appeared for the first time although it was theoretically possible to order a car with drums. When leaving the factory the car originally fitted either 6.00 × 16 inch Dunlop Road Speed tyres as standard, or you could specify 185VR16 Pirelli Cinturato CA67 as a radial option on either 16 × 5K½ solid wheels (basic models) or 16 × 5K wire wheels.[4]
Production ended in October 1960,[5] and totalled 2265 Roadsters, 4445 Fixed Head Coupés and 2672 Drophead Coupés.
Micro Men (2009)
Micro Men, working title Syntax Era is a one-off BBC drama television show set in the late 1970s and the early-mid 1980s, about the rise of the British home computer market. It focuses on the rivalry between Sir Clive Sinclair (played by Alexander Armstrong), who developed the ZX Spectrum, and Chris Curry (played by Martin Freeman), the man behind the BBC Micro.
When asked about the show in an interview for The Independent Clive Sinclair replied It was a travesty of the truth. It just had no bearing on the truth. It was terrible.

Sorcerer Lord ~ Amiga
The Amiga is a family of personal computers sold by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s. Based on the Motorola 68000 family of microprocessors, the machine has a custom chipset with graphics and sound capabilities that were unprecedented for the price, and a pre-emptive multitasking operating system called AmigaOS. The Amiga provided a significant upgrade from earlier 8-bit home computers, including Commodore's own C64.
The Amiga 1000 was officially released in July 1985, but a series of production problems meant it did not become widely available until early 1986. The best selling model, the Amiga 500, was introduced in 1987 and became one of the leading home computers of the late 1980s and early 1990s with four to six million sold. The A3000, introduced in 1990, started the second generation of Amiga systems, followed by the A500+, and the A600 in March 1992. Finally, as the third generation, the A1200 and the A4000 were released in late 1992. The platform became particularly popular for gaming and programming demos. It also found a prominent role in the desktop video, video production, and show control business, leading to video editing systems such as the Video Toaster. The Amiga's native ability to simultaneously play back multiple digital sound samples made it a popular platform for early tracker music software. The relatively powerful processor and ability to access several megabytes of memory led to the development of several 3D rendering packages, including LightWave 3D, Imagine, Aladdin4D, and TurboSilver.
Although early Commodore advertisements attempt to cast the computer as an all-purpose business machine, especially when outfitted with the Amiga Sidecar PC compatibility addon, the Amiga was most commercially successful as a home computer, with a wide range of games and creative software. It was also a less expensive alternative to the Apple Macintosh and IBM PC as a general-purpose business or home computer. Initially, the Amiga was developed alongside various Commodore PC clones, but Commodore later left the PC market. Poor marketing and the failure of the later models to repeat the technological advances of the first systems meant that the Amiga quickly lost its market share to competing platforms, such as the fourth generation game consoles, Apple Macintosh, and later IBM PC compatibles. Commodore ultimately went bankrupt in April 1994 after the Amiga CD32 model failed in the marketplace.
Since the demise of Commodore, various groups have marketed successors to the original Amiga line, including Genesi, Eyetech, ACube Systems Srl and A-EON Technology. Likewise, AmigaOS has influenced replacements, clones and compatible systems such as MorphOS, AmigaOS 4 and AROS. The demise of Commodore has been commonly attributed to numerous factors such as poor marketing, a lack of sufficient third party developers, and a failure to compete with cheaper PC clones with multimedia features and low-cost color-capable Macintosh models such as the Macintosh LC.
