Right now its normal to make a song and joke when you can. The world isn’t a good place and needs a joke or two to remain sane

Aw, @Skyliner33, even I let that one slide on a Friday evening after a crappy week! That said, if he’d posted it in @Jlo’s “Know your sh*t or know you’re sh*t” thread, I’d have caned him!!!

Nice one @Newf

That’s exactly the info I was after. Was it difficult to fit, did you get a template with it?

After taking advice from @Fish, who had one as well, I cut some sections of marine ply to size. Stuck the first one to the roof then screwed the next one to it. Then screwed the base plate to that. Some more photos below.

A friend of the kids or the other half, that extra set of headphones come in handy to keep them all quiet.
So while their watching reruns of Frozen or Spiderman I can play what I like from my sh!t music collection.

That’s exactly what I am looking at, not cheap like you say but you get what you pay for these days.
Thanks for the install heads up.
Nice van from Salop BTW, I very nearly went for one for their vans.

Hey @Texxaco, I wonder if a wireless HDMI receiver could be hidden in there too

Stop it, wires are easily hidden, Xbox under the rear passenger seats, wiring hidden under the carpet up behind the side panels and then into the screen, easy peasy.
