If like me, you'll also need new gloves, boots, balaclava, helmet and additional tinted visor for helmet to match the new car. I had perfectly good ones already but that's not the point.

Don't start me off Alex! I already have a perfectly decent Bell Helmet, and a tinted visor for it too!

Now some new boots and racing gloves does sound like a capital idea though!,

Fly it a little, crash it a few times, make a few vids, then ultimately put it on a shelf and forget about it. That's what most people do. biggrin

I have started to acquire some new tools,for my Caterham Superlight build in the new year.

Just had these delivered,,as I thought new car, then new tools right?





Frivolous because I already have loads of spanners, but these just looked cool?

Anyway loved them so much. I have just ordered the full 42 piece socket set to go with them!
Wera have become my go to brand for when I want something excellent quality. The design as well is top notch.

Today I bought a red Swingline stapler. Mainly because I love the movie Office Space.

A good point, not tried them in any tight places so far, as I no longer have my R500 to spanner on!

We will,have to wait to see when my kit comes next year if the head impedes access at all!

I don't think they will,though!

Look on YouTube. The look like a surefire way to be put on your arse. More videos of people falling off them than actually riding them...

Look for my post a few pages down. They're great fun, not sure how practical they are for real world application, but for a good giggle in the office they're brilliant. Not an expert by any means but they all seem to be much of a muchness with one difference I found, some take 1-2 hours to charge where some take 6-8 hours.

I ordered some Anker glass screen protectors for my iPhone 6s and the OH's iPhone 5 from Amazon - the total came to £13 with £3.95 postage. I only needed to spend another £7 to qualify for free postage, so bought one of these for £15....
