Good work. Thing is i'd need a new cabinet too...or get rid of one of my existing bang sticks. My cabinet is for 6 but as the local FLO is human he said he'll let me have 7 as one is a folding .410....

Think he might come and have a work when the transfer papers for number 8 turn up on his desk....
Best advice I was ever given was buy the biggest cabinet you can afford.

Currently trying to convince our Police armorer to sell off the old S&W .38 revolvers that were replaced with Glock 17's. We have 10 immaculate pistols doing nothing and 9,000 rounds in the cupboard. He isn't biting though....

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Eye-Fi-Wireless-SDHC-Memor...



Wi-Fi SD card, works perfectly and is jammed full of features.... a great deal on Amazon too.

Only took 10mins to register and set up.

Great gadget smile
Just bought one, have no real need for it but I do have two cameras it will work with biggrin
And it has arrived today, and I am way more impressed with it than I should be! I'm tempted to buy another one as a Christmas present!

Although it has gone up now to £52.99 frown

If I wasn't temporarily immobilised I would have already pressed the button...

and await the appropriate volcanic eruption produced by Mrs V when it arrived.


All that said... it's no monster snowman!

I've just shown the wife that snowman. Direct quotes:

"That's amazing!"
"You know, that could fit on our drive"
"Where's it from and how much is it?"
"Have they really sold out?"

http://www.vstank.com

Not cheap (but then that helps classify it as a frivolous purchase) and finding a UK seller can be tricky.
Mine cost about £100.

Specs can be found on the website - http://www.vstank.com/vspro/manual/manual.html

I just bought this off ebay:



I already have one of the leather ECU pouches, but this one has an Aston Martin badge stamped into it! And a little strap to stop the key falling out! £64 is a rip off though.

It looks like that would slip nicely over my Passat key fob. Looks like I just upgraded my car! wink
