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!

Kris Kristofferson – He’s lived!

I suppose, there’s not a lot I can say here. ‘Cept that he’s one of many prominent country artists lucky enough to play with Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson amongst others.. His musical and acting career has spanned decades, literally.

I think, to be able to have done that and been part of something amazing such as The Highwaymen as well is just top.

And of course he plays great music, watch the following vid and enjoy!

And remember – don’t forget to keep it country. If you’re into your country and western, or your folk music check out Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2. Legend that he is: http://www.bobharris.org

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!
