    Can I ask a massive favour....? I have a charity soapbox race this Sunday and I could do with some votes on the cart for the style points, it's free to do and you don't have to register to anything or sign in. It's just a case of clicking the link and selecting cart number 25. PS, It is the least stylish in the picture because it doesn't have any body work, we built it on the day it needed to be in but it is all now done, thanks in advance

    Those gas meters have a neat time saving trick. If you press 0 (4 times) or until it says 'load' it'll give you an instant gas rate for your hob/boiler saving you 2 mins.

    Great content as per Tom, I bought the Nerrad kit, is it £160 good? Not really but all I know is there’s been occasions where it’s got me out of the 💩 and saved time and effort in the long run. One of those tools that’s not a necessity day to day but some days you’re glad you have it👍🏻
