What Have You Bought Today?

Some air. :oops:
Went to my usual garage to increase the new tyre pressures (under inflated by the tyre fitter yesterday, discussed on another thread).
I went armed with my £1 coin, although last time I went, the machine was broken and I had to go to another one, which charged £1.50.
Lo and behold, a brand new shiny machine that only accepts cards. (It also does screen wash, vacuum and "frangrance", whatever tf that is). Is it just me, or does it seem ridiculous putting £1 on your card? Am I just a grumpy old fart? Anyway, four minutes of literally the air that we breathe would seem plenty, except that it dispensed it so slowly that I only got three tyres done, and had to charge another £1 to my card to finish the job. OK, so I got some screen wash with the remaining time, but never did find out what the frangrance was. :mad:

I'm undecided on the swap to black!
Easy enough to switch back I suppose...

Is that black gloss logo on black back? Have you considered a body coloured back plate with the black logo? My Mrs says she likes the black badge look so let me know if you change your mind and want rid.

I don't fancy a putty/primer colored back plate... I think!

I park up and wait for someone else to use it and then zip in sharpish and fill my boots mwaha.... #Yorkshirescrimper

Admittedly I don't do it that often (I did it once) as I bought a £20 rechargeable inflater off of the amazons so I can do it meself enyway. I've easily used it 20 times so paid for itself.

Another option would be to buy a bit of tube with female presta hose ends and, under cover of darkness, go and pilfer air from a higher pressured vehicle's tires... #Superscrimper
