I want to buy something but I don't know what.

easyrider · 1 Jan 2008 at 16:33

Any suggestions?

Something for my PC maybe.

My car?

If you had 200 quid to spend on anything right now what would it be?

A drum Kit they are amazing and pretty cheap nowadays

I already have a Hayman 1972 5 Piece gold Kit that my folks bought me for my 18th.

Put the money in your bank account. You are clearly spending money for the sake of it, going by this thread.

Sometimes its good though.

Follow the horses and have a gamble with it!

I always lose and if I won I would have more money but still the same dilemma

Nikon D80 is taking my fancy but its a bit over budget

That is so easy.
Even though I have a collection of amazing guitars including a Gibson Les Paul Standard, 79 Fender Stratocaster and a 70's Yamaha SG2000, my father has lent me his Line 6 Variax 300 over christmas and I don't want it to go back to him.
Its one of the most amazing instruments I've played especially in partnership with a Line 6 POD.
He told me I can have it for £200 because he wants the Variax 600.

Not really my cup of tea.

Already have a USA Telecaster and a Martin OM18-V

An ipod unit for the 3

Yeah was thinking of that but tbh I'm happy with my touch screen Sat Nav MP3 setup.

Although I could do with some new mats.

Jez said:
Oh did you go aftermarket in the end?

No Kept the Business CD but got a connects2 aux in unit to replace the CD changer and just play my MP3's through the satnav touch screen through the business head unit.Happy with the sound although some new speakers wouldn't go a miss....

Hang on a second!

EUREKA!

I could get some of these?

Ah you mean like a tomtom with mp3 playing capability? Trying to work out what you meant!

Yeah.

Although a Archos 705 Wi-Fi 160GB Multimedia Player some how located in the area below the Air con would be great.

7 "Touch screen

Similar to that

Jez said:
Yeah that looks smart, bit too much effort for me though

Bmw made a unit for that area for a 6.5" screen

Easy to do really I would think.Just remove ashtray and bit above.

My friend has an Archos mp3 player, and it's terrible.

idk if that's universal for all of their products though.

The 705 is meant to be the dogs but I can't get one anywhere.

All says mid jan

If I honestly didn't know what to buy I would buy nothing.

If I had £200 right now, I'd probably buy a 22" TFT.

I nearly bought the 24" DGM the other day but realised I didn't really need it.

easyrider · 1 Jan 2008 at 23:27

Some good ideas here.

The money is leaning to upgraded speakers for my BMW

If I had to spend money atm it would be on some GHDs If nothing was being forced, I'd save it till I found something I really wanted.

I'm not very good at saving money unless I have a project like getting a car or something or a guitar.

I saved 1000 for a new guitar but thats about the only real time I have saved any money.

I'd replace the CD Sat Nav unit in my 330 with a DVD unit, as it's supposed to be much better.

Would be interested in how you installed the MP3 CD changer in your BMW for the standard one. Would consider this also. Mail me if possible please.

The much suggested alternative would be to start putting this money into savings, but I'd rather you test drive a few more PC parts for us

There is nothing new in the PC for some months.Hence my itchy feet!

I replaced the CD changer with an AUX adaptor not another CD changer.

I never used to be any good but practise makes perfect

Yeah it does.

I was better when I was younger. And it really should be the other way around.
