  • Best Thing You've spent Money On This Year

    I've just rediscovered music. I've always been a bit of an audiophile with a list of different HiFi in years gone by, Linn, Naim, Rega to name a few. But little used I gradually got rid of it, the deck was used as a toy and I was always afraid the mid and tweeters on my floor standers were going to get pushed in by my wonderful bin lids. So a few years down the line I felt it was time to move on from the Roberts radio and Iphone and in the sales grabbed a SONOS Play 1. Well, what a revelation I'd forgot how music should sound and the reaction it can get from you, the best £130 I've spent this year :D The speaker is great and will soon be paired up with another one but the software that runs the PC app and the one on the phone is amazing, linking with Amazon music and Spotify with no fuss whatsoever, seamless. The instructions with the speaker were 3 steps, unpack, plug in, follow instructions on App. Amazing bit of kit

    Nissan Leaf has been my best purchase.
    No heli purchases of interest this year but from last year would be VB Cont.

        Given that they're about £20, the little B&D 5Nm power screwdrivers give a pretty good result for buck.

        Either getting the 'tank-cover' on/off Cathy's PanzerMoto; getting SAN arrays into cabinets, or getting Goblin 500 frame screws in & out (with some care).

        5NM is a bit much for many heli screws, but you do the last bit by hand.

                              My car, a Civic TypeR, 306bhp of pure fun. After helicopters I love my cars.

                              Next my 3D printer and then laser cutter, which I received last week. Love my gadgets to tinker with.
