|  Pimp My Ride!
well..I've been thinking.....
I already have covers for my mariokart - fluffy purple ones at the moment, though I think I'm gonna get some more fluffy pink ones too...
and I have some stickers on the arm rests (smiley faces)
I think I'm gonna get some more stickers n stuff....
and put speakers on (under the seat) connected to an MP3 player - so I can be rockin' when I'm out and about 
any thoughts?  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | With the speakers, have a mooch to see if there is a aux plug for a electric back of seat lift... if so, a 24v -> 12v converter will allow you to wire up some speakers to your batteries for a bit more sound and better quality. Be warned that playing music loudly can land you in bother with the bobbies, as it is classed as anti-social behaviour...
Not that I've done a wheelchair sound system before... |

I'm Currently Feeling: | don't know if i've heard of toxicity. Not sure what kind of music you like, I tend to listen to rock and alternative, Dave Matthews Band is my favorite |

if it was to use my mariokart battery - I'd not get as far!
sooooooooo what happened with you and PC Plod? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Well, the friend who had the F55S also had 4 batteries under the seat... so we rigged up a regenerative braking alternator that allowed the batteries to regain some charge. Then we fitted a Sony Head Unit under the seat that took CDs, wired up an aerial along the back of the seat and used the built in amp of the head unit to play and power two 6 x 9s and 1 5 inch sub.
We did get told off 1 friday night in the middle of Cheltenham by PC Plod but to be fair, Hippy Hard Core was a bit crap even then! |
