I presume you will have to put it in the back window because you car is so fast nothing will be in front of you?

It'll capture the bikes going past you in traffic. Assuming you can wank to that?

Genuinely haven’t seen a single thing worth buying this year.

Do wish I dashcam though. I slaughtered a Fazer off the lights coming out of Bradford on my way home from work on Sunday and I was in my car. I would like to watch that again.

Pretty much, I bought a monitor just before that went up in price on black friday Confused Aside from a few nerdy SSD deals it was as lame as last year. I think retailers have worked out there's no point heavily discounting just before Xmas.

I managed to bag a pair of "last years" (superseded august 2018) Sony noise cancelling headphones for £150 on a Amazon warehouse deal which included a further 20% discount.

Only problem is that whilst i got the delivered - handed to resident notification last night whilst I was in... I don't actually have the headphones. Neutral

I could do with a decent SSD, my only one is 128GB so it contains windows and nothing else. Game load times are getting terrible on a mechanical drive now, but my steam folder is just over 500GB so I’d need at least a terabyte and they’re not discounted enough to be worth it.

I was also thinking about a PS4 pro. Two weeks ago they were £300, they’re now £400 because Christmas. Lucky for me, my wife improved her stock by buying me one for my birthday.

I nearly bought the 10inch Kindle fire but Amazon often drop the price to 99 squid on a regular basis. I don't need one yet.

Had a look around and really found nothing considered a bargain.

It depends on your budget, Crucial had some good deals on their 1TB MX500 drive (£105 was the cheapest I think). I was tempted by an NVMe drive, Amazon had the 970 Evo 500GB for £90 but I've already got a ~500GB SSD.

I bought some cycling leggings, but only cos I had an off and ripped the ones I wear under my shorts. Right in front of a load of pedestrians, who all gasped and asked if I was okay - "yeah, I ride dirt bikes" I shouted as I pedaled off into the night with an unscathed pizza and a shooke up bottle of pepsi.

Crucial MX500 CT2000MX500SSD1 2TB going for £204, that's a real bargain...At the moment their 1TB's are about £124. £61 will get you a 500 gig. (mx500)

Yep I saw the 2TB but it's a bit out of my hard drive budget. If I had money to burn I'd get one and never have to run a HDD again Wub

I was actually kicking myself because I recently paid £134 for a Seagate 1TB SSD... DANG!!

These were £15 on Amazon so I snagged 2. They're £28 on Amazon and varying up to £35 elsewhere.

That's farking good, I bought a 4 TB portable from PC world a few days ago, it was listed at £95 but at the till I paid £89.99...

So a 5TB under 100 is really good.

If you look at the prices of the 2TB it's not worth it now, 4 or 5TB is the way.
