All this positivity about DRL's greatly amuses me - There's even a new thread someone has just started about wanting some.

When I fitted my Hella LED DRL's way back in 2009 I got nothing but flak!

Yesterday!   :happy2:

Took my wife, sister and her family on a wine tasting tour at a near by vineyard (Denby's in Surrey) and I don't even drink, my wife and sister were hammered though! :signLOL:



Then drove up Box Hill to see the Olympic Rings and watch all the nutters on their bicycles trying to be Bradley Wiggins.



Finished the day at my favourite restaurant. Great day.

Am now at work for a 13 hr shift!!  :sad1:

 :drinking:

....Tipsy ladies are always funny - Particularly if it makes them horny! Just as long as they don't throw up on you! (or in your car).

Ah, Box Hill. Before anyone had ever heard of Wiggo, I used to ride up Box Hill towards the end (back into Chelsea) of a ~90 mile training ride. A kind of perverse pleasure but I never got off my bike up any hill ever - Wanted to though!

....I imagine it would be very critical where you sit if you want to enjoy a well produced piece of music to the full. What is the bass like?

I suppose youre right Robin. They sound epic when I'm laid on my bed, which is the exact purpose of them. They still sound great when wandering around the room, but obviously not as nice, its impossible to get perfect audio everywhere.

The bass is surprisingly good actually, but not ultra punchy which is perfect for me. Its the stereo spacing which is absolutely brilliant, they are amazing speakers and they were a steal too.  :laugh:

Just listerning to Jimmy Webb and it sounds like Im sat in the control booth...  :love:

Aha! I hadn't realised it was a bedroom. So they're in the sweet spot for when you are lying in bed. Does your missus like the same kinds of music as you do, Rich?

Hey! Following your love of photography, they don't conceal cameras do they?  :evilgrin:

Really nice pic Robin, I have noticed a few sun flowers popping up above fences the last week or two.
