    I bought one on Thursday in Halfords and it was on special offer. It plugs into the cigarette lighter. It was an analogue one (had a dial to display the pressure instead of a digital readout) and was reduced from £28.99 to £19.99 :dbgrtmb:

        Thank you everyone your comments are very much appreciated.though I must admit I am not a confrontational Owl my thinking is usually 99% of problems can be sorted out amicably but I did think about it very carefully and decided that as I cannot run far ;) I would stand my ground and do the Ali shuffle(Float like a Butterfly and sting like a Bee):lunapic 130165696578242 5:

          What drives me nuts are those drivers that think they can drive along the middle lane (motorway) for as long as they please. Don't they realise that they are turning it into a dual carriageway?:mad: It's strange how so many people don't realise that the outer two lanes are for overtaking, OVERTAKING !! Ok, rant over....and b r e a t h e:)

                  Ok, I'm on it now:-

                  INside lane: bus lane
                  OUTside lane: cruising
                  therefore ...
                  Middle lane is for ... driving!? :rolleyespink:

                  It was double wiper conditions going up to Shineyland and I feel safer in the fast lane than the other two, with them all dodging about showing their brake lights. If I think they are all focussed and competent, I prefer to join them in the outside lane at 75mph with a 3 to 4 cars space between me and the car in front.
                  It's the biker in me still I suppose,
