Fecking Halfords

My mate has one cos he's doing Mech Eng. at Uni heh. Granted he's at PHD...

I've got one :)

no hassle at all to get it either, just went in explained the nature of my buisiness(taxi's) didnt even have to show anything

It seems to be a bit like that. Either they give you one if you look vaguely like you might have once been under a car by accident, or they want a note signed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, The Queen and your mum to prove that you are in the trade.

Accompanied by the sound of a chisel on slate Doki, managed to produce the following words of wisdom

Do you want me to have a word with Izzy? He'll be round later....

See if you can get Fred Dibnah to put his name to it too.

Same here. And I no longer have a business. Got two big leasure batteries at half price same day.

Must produce true 'sub bass' then?

Oh I remember you were asking about small subs -

I have one of those. It's very, very good - especially considering it fits under the passenger seat. Comes with all you need to wire it in as well.

Doesn't that half your luggage capacity?

>

Hehe :-) The shelf behind the rear seats is actually bigger than it looks! And there is the tray under the bonnet - but that gets wet :)

Not... the *brown* note?

It's probably more than the head unit, speakers and 75 are worth.

I can't remember the last time I went to Hellfrauds, but I know I regretted it.

I got =A315 worth of vouchers from my brother for chrimbo. I guess I'm=20 going to need a lot of screenwash.

--=20 Carl Robson Audio stream:

And about three to four times less than I normally pay for a head unit alone. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't be perfectly happy with a cheap one, but people pay what they are happy to pay - just as they do with the actual cars themselves.

All the more important to have good kit then :)

So what basically you're saying is that you're actually so pikey that even Halfords rejected you?

I didn't even know they had standards :)

My headunit was an import bargain heh. Pioneer 6950ib - has loads of cool features that I'm never gonna use but it's nice to have heh - the sound quality is great as well. Shame my Q-be MP3 player is a bit toss really, I need a better MP3 player to use with it - one that's not an iPod preferably - although I see Winamp now supports them so I can use that instead of iToss.

Screenwash? Nah, it's almost impossible to find concerntrated screen wash in Halfords now, it's all ready mixed with water. How about a few cans of WD-40? 5l of Oil for your next oil change? Some of their tools are OK.

I've actually been considering moving over to the dark side and getting an iPod recently, as I wanted something with a bit more capacity.

The phase has gone now, but I still feel so ashamed :(
