I picked up the amp today. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
As I knew I'd be in Buckingham today (just down the road from the seller), I decided to go and pick it up, rather than stump up for the postage. It was supposed to be a quick trip down the M40 and up the road - nice and easy.
Except the M40 was shut, and all the traffic was being diverted right through High Wycombe. It took me two hours to get there, and probably ended up costing more in petrol than it would have been to post it. <!--emo&:rolleyes:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rolleyes.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Never mind, I hooked it up as soon as I got home - even with the same crappy old speakers I've got (complete with sellotape joins on the speaker wires <!--emo&:shame:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/shame.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='shame.gif' /><!--endemo--> ), it blows the old stereo into the weeds in every possible way. <!--emo&B)--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I is happy now. <!--emo&:aha:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/aha.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='aha.gif' /><!--endemo-->
