Basically post pictures (if possible) of your recent purchases be they car related or 'other'.

So to start us off I bought this:-

Have you tried that wheel yet deacon? Is it any good. I was going to pick up the new F1 game for the PS3 and maybe get a wheel for that. But that looks pretty good, maybe i'll get the xbox version instead.

I'm quite impressed so far. It works better than i imagined when i first saw it. The 2 shoulder buttons from the pad have been missed off though which is a bit of a pita. I'd definitely recommend giving it a go though but does need a little perseverance to get used to it.

It is! Tried it out last night with a 3 pod lighting unit that I got for a tenner from Homebargains!! The whole room looked amazing!

That laser thing is awesome. I did a similar thing at a party once where I had the music playlist running on itunes and set the visualiser going through a projector on to a wall. Was cool if I do say so myself

Anyway, recent buy for me.

I got rid of my 7 year old Nokia simpleton phone and moved in to the 21st century. Nice Sena Corsa slip case to go with it too.

Not exactly a purchase but if you have a 1st generation ipod nano (working or not), Apple are changing them, for free, to refurbished current generation 8Gb nanos. Mine arrived today

Nice! I'm waiting for mine to come back. Will check the store for an update. Glad to hear we get the new ones even if they are refurbs. Nobody seemed to know what the would replace with, even the guys in the apple store.

A bit annoying how longs it's taken though. I sent mine 20th November! Will be good in the car so I don't have to keep plugging my iPhone in.

Post by **Kev** » Sat Jan 07, 2012 7:47 pm

Shouldn't be too long for you. This is my timeline.

Service requested Nov 12th
Received Nov 24th
Nano replacement arrived Jan 7th
