I am going away to Wales for a week in a carravan in my car with four mates. I have given them strict orders to keep their weight down. I have sent them all on strict diets of cabbage and lettuce and if they weigh more than 9 stone they are not allowed in my car.

However I am thinking about taking my amp and speakers, is this madness? I just find the sound of portables and computer speakers hightly offence.
 
A colleague of mine once took a Palm PC, a game console and a laptop on holiday. I don't think his wife and kids were amused:D.
 
...all it takes is one can of lager down a vent.... or a kebabby finger cranking up the volume too much.

heres a good one...

or in my case, getting home blathered, putting the headphones on but forgetting to plug in the jack, get the hifi to a comfortable "headphone listening level" with my supposedly connected headphones, and get the neighbors banging on the door at 4am for half an hour and not speaking to me for a month.
 
Taking a laptop too :p I have been given a faulty mini Compaq one with a 700Mhz PIII, after replacing the HD and RAM it now runs like a treat, will take that with an 3g broadband stick.

As for HIFI it is a good point about damage, I might my parents computer speakers, they will sound better than a cheap all in one which they are threatening to take. You know the kind £19.99 Argos special.
 
Christ :)

I've decided just to take some 2.1 logitch computer speakers, they are naff but are better than nothing.
 
Be fair Garyi,
AT needs semi decent speakers for the amount of time he will spend on the hard shoulder waiting for the AA!
 
Bob I have two spare springs, a timing chain spare coil pack, spare plugs, three spare wheels and four spare torque wrenches I will be fine :D And yes I am taking the piss.
 
When I were a tadge younger going on holiday least of my concerns was ensuring I had not left home.

Yes.

Also - can your car not cope with the weight of 5 people???
 
I dont envy you your cabbage fueled passangers.

They will make their own sweet trumpet music.

No thanks!
 
Sorting new front springs out tomorrow, this is a job I would have left for months and months but I know there is a possibility of these springs snapping as they are already partialy snapped so the job needs doing before I go away.

Need to sort out the RAC trip too. Basicialy getting my car ready to leave Manchester is costing me a fortune, but sorting out break down cover is something I had never considered before because most my journeys are within 5 miles from home anyway.

RAC want £28 a year for my car :).
