Popped in to see MikeyT today on my way up to Yorkshire and would just like to say thanks to him and his good lady for making Jo and me feel very welcome.

Also his Chimera 4.0HC (which is up on the PH classifieds) looks *WELL* tidy!!!!

MikeyT - selling the car? Whats wrong? You have got a corker there and you did get it for a bargain (you must have done something with that dealer you know!). Upgrading I hope...?

Thanks for the plug Phil...

Nice to meet you and Jo and sample:

a) The ol' Sat Nav
b) The ol' Air Con
c) Your electric coolbox

Jeez it was hot wasn't it ... ? And we were just standing there nattering ... Hope you have a nice week in Scotland and we'll all meet up again soon I hope.

Oh well back to the gardening

Paul: 'fraid so ... absolutely kills me to do it as you know the time it took me to find but we need a four-seater 'third car' for weekends. day trips etc or else the kids have to be left with CarZee for the weekend ...

Read on here you're moving house ... to a double garage too yer lucky sod ... hope it goes OK!

Cheers

Mike

Edited to say: it'll be a return to large 1960s American cars made by Ford for me for sure

Aw MikeyT - haven't you felt a calling for a Cerbera?

At least you found a good example and had a good love affair!

The Sat-Nav is superb ... already been considering moving that unit you saw today over into the Chim(p) when we get one and getting the new INA-N333R unit for the Vulva (the new one has extra memory / processing horsepower so that it can support postcode searching as well as just address searching - thing is I had a thought of installing a Sonic Blue eMpeg as a head unit in the Chim(p) instead - both are usefull!

The 'leccy coolbox is a treasure too ... however I've just found out about another unit which a mate has bought from Lidl (IIRC) that he says is even better - apparently gets much colder and holds more. I need to look at one when I get back but if they are significantly better I'll let you know - supposedly about £60 inc 240v-12v PSU for home use.

As for the aircon ... well as I said, there's aircon and there's aircon - the unit in my old MX6 was OK and stopped you sweating profusely but that was that. Once above about 2,500 rpm in the V40 that Volvo A/C actually can get *TOO* cold ... by Lincoln we'd actually got the heater on as well as the A/C just to take off the chill as it was making my forearms numb whilst driving!
