They come with a little remote you can change the colours manually or just set them to 1 colour or just fade them one to another only a bit of work just to link them together you can buy clips to attach them but I spent 4 hours this morning soldering them together as you get less problems and a better light as less volt drop it's only for fun when it Xmas or some one comes round and the lot x2 cost only £18 for the lights remote power supply and reciver quite effective not much use but looks good for a few hours work and little money

Those lights are really good, I needed some the other day and got them from The Range at a ok price i normally get them from Fleabay, If you trim them the offcuts are good use as small lights in places like the glove box, I have seen them listed as SMD 3528 and SMD 5050 some have 4 wires and some 10 there all amazing to the everyready torch i had as a kid ...

Middle of last week i acquired a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours. It was free from the doctors!
No beer during the week, no bacon, no cake, no chocolate. Buggeration i must be getting old.

Managed to get to a local Car boot
Bought a bag of about 50 assorted Cobalt Dormer drills for £5!
Some Xmas decs for winchwomans festive project, £7 priced up at near £40 in the shops and most of its new!
A broken Hilti Drill to add to my collection, well I assume its broke, I wanted the SDS chuck for one of mine I now have 3 drills and still no charger.
Massive set of callipers £1, my boss will be made up as I have been known to have the odd pipe measurement error!
Brought another load of collectables from my brothers house ready for the next Auto Jumble / Car boot, I thought I had some crap LOL

You did well. I attended my local car boot today out of curiosity, hadn't been in months. A much smaller affair due to the time of year but the same old regular stall holders were present. I was thoroughly disgusted after digging through a box of tools and seeing the same little engineers square with the markings ground off as I had seen four months earlier. I won't be attending again until at least when it warms up in spring next year when some fresh blood arrives.

I dont go very often its massive but the dealers hoover up the good stuff I have had the odd bargain over the years

 

[angellonewolf]

[Scruffywelder]

Got a wee tool cupboard for £6 in an auction...

And an interesting bike work stand, a couple of pairs of fancy bib and brace overalls, a laptop case and a lathe chuck guard for the grand total of £40

Well today I acquired another piece of metal, as if I haven't got enough already,
Really could have done without this bit though...

New tyre time, then.

Yep, nice start to the week, never mind its only money.
Tyre fitter said its normally just nails and screws he comes across, I think he was quite impressed, told him I tend not to do things by half

20 years ago i was given a Red Dwarf VHS casette by my neice who was 8 back then and over the years she has been taking it to comicon events to get it signed by the cast and today she dropped it round after getting it signed by Chris Barrie,
