    As for it being luxurious sure it is, but it's a one time cost and its not likely we'll be going back to a car anytime soon. One of my boys is really behind on development and the other is even further behind due to prem birth and also due to the fact he has movement issues.

    We both do a lot of driving and considering all the problems the boys have I don't consider a tv in the back to keep them occupied that big of a cost. I remember big long journeys as a kid with naff all to do in a car, I'd have loved a 24" tv and the way I see it is money is there to be spent, you can't enjoy it when it's sat in the bank.

    Sorry to go off that wasn't a rant just can't help myself sometimes :)
    Are we there yet??

    see i knew it was a good idea posting up on here about this topic.. whilst not strictly cnc, i still achieved the result i was after cheaper ways of making what i wanted.

    big thanks to Lee for letting me have these for a good price and it was nice to meet a CnC member face to face for the first time, it was quite obvious if i wasnt working we coulda chatted for hours.
