Happy days, it needs to go on the wall though, that board looks like it's struggling under the weight, you don't want to wake up in the night to a crashing sound.
We want it on the ground, so we can swing it to the right about 10' to make the viewing angle perfect when the guys come round Sundays for MotoGP :)

Need a huge cabinet I can fit some wheels to.
Got a big enough one from IKEA with 8 screw in feet. Local Chinese shops sold little castors for 89c.

So now TV is in position for when the gang comes round for MotoGP :)

I've still got a fair bit left on my credit note from local DIY shop.
Yesterday my biggest molegrips let me down, so headed into the big city.

The 2 socket drivers fell into the basket as well as they're just so shiny and new.

Not a new purchase, but took my little SLK in to get the wheels refurbished as they were a bit scabby and worn. Had them redone in 'light anthracite with gloss lacquer' and new matching centre caps.
Car looks so much nicer now. 270 quid well spent, I reckon.

Out of interest, do they take the tyres off?
