LED bulbs for the car, 2 for brake lights one for reverse which better be bright because if they are not at least on par with the normal bulbs they are not gonna be used.

Also got 2 for the interior though i need just one, and 2 smaller ones for number plate which i just hope isnt stupid bright.

If they're Cree's then they'll be awesome! I've had their bulbs as my number plate lights on my last two cars and they're fantastic. I'm also currently using their bulbs as sidelights as well. As it stood I'd be better off employing a Romanian on national minimum wage to walk in front of my car with a candle than rely Mazda OEM ones :rolleyes:

I too have the interior LED bulb as well though I've haven't got round to fitting that yet :o

Brilliant watches - I have two of them. I only bought another G Shock as my original was almost 15 years old and I wanted something a bit more up-to-date :p

Thank you - I done my research on OcUK before making my purchase ;)

If they are Cree's then they will be nice and bright!, even the 30w Cree's are better than the standard 21w bulbs!!

How much were they??
Click to expand...

less than £60 for all the bulbs in the pic iirc, expensive tbh but should last.

They were avertised as cree so hopefully will be a cree of some kind, they look to be XP-G2 leds from a quick look, though might be some form of osram? Not sure tbh

the brake/reverse are not 30w avertised at 80w but thats nonsense

Had a couple of nights in London so treat myself to a few things.

Had an excellent steak at Flat Iron so decided to pick up a couple of the knives



also had an excellent coffee at monmouth so decided to try recreate the experience myself



some cups to try the monmouth coffee in, i got 4 mugs and 2 2oz espresso cups




trying out the beans (my coffee machine needs a good exterior clean)



and the resulting espresso (please excuse the terrible milk pour)



I also picked up a remote helecopter from hamleys but after less then an hour it ended up in the sink and now its just spinning in circles :(

Those knives...are they cleaver-sized as their form suggests or meant to be used to cut the meat on the plate? Looks like the latter from the scale of the handles, but I've never seen any of that shape. Rather nice, though.
 
A few items purchased while trying to fix my broken Gould OS3000 oscilloscope.

A 'PCBScope', a Picaxe project that is supposed to allow you to use this little device, a couple of wires and a PC, to act like an oscilloscope.

It sort of works but I'm finding it disconnects from the USB almost every time I change or remove a signal. Really annoying when you are trying to fix something that needs to be switched off every minute to stop it melting.

Some clips and transistors, really old type transistors.

And some BNC connectors. Was hoping to use these with my probes and the PCBScope but seeing as it doesn't work great I've back burnered that idea for now.

Not a purchase but a make..

A high volt probe. Made up from some resistors which I bought, some sleeve which I got from work and a tube I got from an engineer plus a few bits of wire and clips. With the end probe I can safely test extreme high voltage in the order of 10,000 ish volts without vapoursing myself. :)

My scope needs 9 kilovolts for its CRT hence the build.

I've got another oscilloscope coming this weekend, which I scored for £27. They usually go for £60-£100. This one is a lower spec model but 5 at least years younger so is smaller, lighter and has some features the other one hasn't got and lacks features the other has. I might keep both if I get my old one fixed, or sell one on.

What coffee machine do you have? That coffee looks really good.
 
Thanks GTanny, looks nice.

Gothic, where d'you buy your inert stuff from? Get yourself a .50BMG and marvel at the side-by-side size comparison with 5.56 and 7.62. It's huge!
