MG Progress Update 4 – A new stereo (earlier than planned!)

: View of the box!

: View of the HU in the car!

Howdy, so yes things are coming on well. I was hit by a stroke of luck with this one really. I had received some vouchers from Bedford College to spend in shops around Bedford – all part of the Bedford BID scheme.
This, I thought, was quite generous!

What was even better was that Argos were one of the shops listed where I could spend the vouchers at so naturally I had a quick look through their catalogue to make sure that they did car stereos – which they did!

I’d already got a Kenwood unit in the car, which I was pleased with, so thought I’d go down that route again. I picked up a Kenwood KDC-415UR CD/Radio/USB/Aux unit mainly because it was the most expensive I could get with £100 of vouchers and secondly because it seemed like the best I could get for the money that would let me plug my iPod in.

It also came with a set of free speakers – but the factory fitted ones seem pretty awesome for now!

Review: Armageddon: The Battle for Germany 1944-45

Armageddon: The Battle for Germany 1944-45 by Max Hastings

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is probably one of the longest, and ultimately best history books, that I have ever read. It wasn’t for the faint hearted – there is so much information packed into each page that at times it did make it rather tiring to read – needless to say the text size was rather small – so unless you’re interested in the subject or know someone who is I wouldn’t recommend it…

Personally though – for any historians or warfare enthusiasts – this is well worth checking out!

Life…

Now is as good a time as any to post about life… well what can I say. It’s May 2nd 2011. 12.56 am. And I’ve decided to Blog. This year is going mad fast, rock and roll!

I’ve had some of the best times of my life in the first 5 months of this year! Things are going really well.

I’ve caught up with some old friends and made some great new ones. Death Cap is going really well, my Freelance IT company is going really well and for the umpteenth time I have decided that there is absolutely no point in trying to impress or please others – do what you like because life is relentless. Life could end tomorrow!

And not to mention or forget – that your family is so important to you. You can fall out with every friend you have ever had but just make sure that you stick by your family. They’ll be there for you, if you’re there for them.

Enjoy life, because life is what you make it. Don’t waste it. Enjoy it. Enjoy it for yourself!

Peace out!

EDIT – And did I mention, rock and love, um I meant roll is the fuel for my life.
