If your friend is unavailable, I promise to take good care of your TVR too! Man you know about cars!
 
You'd be surprised how little I know! But I do love TVRs.
 
If you've ever seen that terrible John Travolta film Swordfish, the actual TVR Tuscan (W998 AFR) used in it resides in your country - near Brussels. I've met the owner (Pascal) and the car actually has been on my drive. The loudest car I've ever heard, by far - so loud that when I was following it, I couldn't even hear my own engine.
 
 
Watch out (or perhaps listen out) for it!
 
Sadly mine's just a Chimaera 4.5 - nothing flash. Own at least one TVR before you die.

A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

I will have my music collection donated to a library. Some surviving relative or friend can work out the details.

I'll be buried with it, so I can use it in the afterlife.

This has caused me a lot of worry.
 
As one who was never going to have children, and also being the only child of only children so having no known living relatives, it's not just my prog collection but my house, parrots, car, hi-fi and a very valuable collection of rare stamps that could be going to the Treasury if I'm not careful, which is why I made a will because they'd only squander it.
 
The stamps are going to a charity to help care for my parrots (assuming I die first), the car to a good friend who loves TVRs (unless I crash it first) and the house to a housing association - no problems there.
 
But my music collection (and my ex-partner's which I inherited when he passed away) amounts to over 2000 vinyls (about 60% prog) and a 100 or so CDs and I'd hate to see them all thrown away. I've left them to my local prog society so they can take any they want and sell the rest on fleabay for charity.

I'm going to live forever, and bother as many people I can with my weird music collection.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

There is a company in England who offer the service of melting your vinyl records and turning them into the coffin in which you are buried.  Unfortunately my Vinyl records all went to a charity shop many years ago.  I suppose when I'm dead my children will sell my CDs on ebay (or whatever the equivalent will be in the future).  I don't think they will interested in listening to any of them.

You could bury it inside a lead container as a sort of time capsule, so that perhaps a civilization thousands of years in the future will discover it and learn how amazing the music on Earth once was (leave a player too with some batteries and instructions in case they are again a primitive culture not knowing electricity, which is highly likely to be the case).

If PA will still exist, I will leave a note asking someone to post a thread offering it for free to any PA fan who wants to come and pick it up.
But don't kill me yet please.

I still live in hope that maybe one day this music will be loved by more people
And that my collection could find a nice home from people who really appreciate the music
 
More likely, it will go to the grave with me Cry

A Passion Play will go in the cd player at the church for the funeral :p

Let my daughter have her choice of the collection then ship the rest to ROSfest in a big box market 'Free Please Take One' alternatively the local library.

I'm even thinking of selling the whole thing as a collection. It's like my Hot Wheels and hockey card collections they went a long time ago. I mean you grow out of things, move on. I still love music but I find anytime I have time for it is when I'm on the computer. So I just find something on youtube or play a CD.

In the trash.  No one will care at that point.
