Well folks... with the advent of mobile phones, GPS systems, bluetooth comms, uhf CBs, Gameboy's and iPads, here is the latest "must have" for your glovebox with the Cig lighter socket in it.......



Only a few bucks from Taiwan - so maybe Brock can bring a few home with him when he visits there in April!     :thumb

Got any "gadgets" we should all know about?

Cheers, Diesel

Brock is going to Thailand I think..he has been very quiet about it.  Taiwan is a bit further over the ocean.....

Close enough!
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

For those of you interested in el-cheapo gizmos, the best site I've found is at

www.dealextreme.com

They do all sorts of things all of which are very cheap and they feature free shipping to anywhere! I've got quite a few little toys from here and obviously you get what you pay for but they are quick, cheap and fun.

Enjoy

Cheers

My charger that came wity the GPS just died so I thing I need a few of what terry uses.  Retyractable USB cables will solve a few of the storage issues I have with all those different cables you collect.

Sazz,

Dealextreme have the following "14-in-1 Travel-Easy USB/Network RJ45/Firewire 1394/Headset Cable Pack". It is basically an adapter kit for USB anything to anything, and all for $12 with free shipping to anywhere in Aus.

Enjoy!
