What Have You Bought Today?

[JOG]

Locking spare wheel bolt & security device to stop the scumbags getting mole grips on it......& a spare wheel to replace the one they nicked

That's £100 I could've done without the week before xmas.........would happily pay double that for 10mins in a locked room with whoever nicked it

Yeah, but what would you do with the spare 7 minutes, as I reckon you’d have creased them in the first 3! I’m so sorry you had the spare nicked from your pride and joy

Got this little beauty today for my daughter to open at Christmas....

That’s fantastic! For should I say “van-tastic”?!!

Not today but yesterday ordered a lazer lamp grill kit from Nicky Grist

Today it was a set of osram fog breakers (super yellow 2600k) and the windscreen trim rubber thing from Traveln lite after almost losing my curly wurly down there.

Umweltzone sticker for Germany arrived today, doubt I’ll be using it anytime soon

Fitted (eventually) one of the THQ premium blackout curtains, what a pain in the proverbial. First problem was the rail end stoppers which would not fit, far to big. Then realised it's far easier to get the curtains on the rails first before attaching them. Then one of the press studs was defective with the screw head just going straight through it.
Curtains themselves are great quality but the fixtures leave a lot to be desired.

Wireless charging pad.. the next piece to the wireless journey.

Yes fully wireless apple car play. That wireless pad is being cut into the sunglasses holder on the comfort dash.

I remember having exactly the same problems with the Vanstyle curtains, presumably the same ones.

Is that a mod to the wired Apple CarPlay? Or an upgrade?

I think so, pretty generic I reckon.

A mod

Ah, we need to have a chat after Xmas!

 

[Sooty6.1]

An Ascot Grey T6.1 Startline for conversion in January. I’ll soon be hitting the open roads (Covid permitting). Absolutely made up!

Had a look at these a few weeks ago, where are you thinking of placing it @Jayjmac .
I was thinking central dash compartment above the HU.

Wireless CarPlay is a massive drain on the battery, particularly if you’re using it as a t**t-nav too. What I’d like to do is throw my phone somewhere and have it charging. We can talk later about some stealth apps usage!

I’m putting it in here.. when I change all the dash parts there is enough room to get this in there, just and it’s right above the fuse box! I may do it if ignition but more than likely straight off the leisure battery

Everything is a drain on a iPhone battery.. the battery would probably drain even if you turned it off! I’m lucky enough to have the 12 pro max and it hasn’t been to bad on the battery. On those short journeys it’s fine but any long journey I’d want to have it on charge. Hopefully on the wireless pad.

@andys your man for that mod

Once I get round to upgrading to an iPhone 12 mini I’m going to upgrade the wireless charger to a MagSafe too, which will mean charging at a much higher rate and remove the last disadvantage of wireless charging.

That’s my plan, but it will be some time until I go to an iPhone 12 mini as I just upgraded during the summer! Yep, I am that tight!!!
