Default Please Santa can I have one of these?

I've put this Dyson car cleaning kit on my Christmas list.

Dyson UK - Car cleaning accessory kit.

Has anyone got one? Is it any good?

I would also suggest this kit from Miele, the flexi hose & brush is worth the £40 by it's self

Of course, if you do this, you run the risk of her getting too familiar with the "flexi crevice attachment"

The brush is really effective, the flexi hose is ok, and the turbo head thing a total waste of space.

Wouldn't touch a Dyson, ever.

Once he'd made £150m personal income out of the UK, he sacked all his workers and took production to China. Got an OBE or something for that too.

I'm not saying I wouldn't touch anything made in China, just it annoyed me that he sacked his loyal British workforce that had made him a Multi-Millionaire, just so he could make even more profits.

Well actually the council in question refused planning permission to expand the existing factory.... but don't let the truth get in the way of a good post

One - how come they were so loyal? Were they turning down similar jobs being offerred to them with much more money?

Two - if anything, it's the other way around. He paid their wages for how ever long they were based in the UK, producing a product he'd come up with on his own, taken out massive loans to follow his dream, and got off the ground all down to his own hard work.

I'm sure he didn't take the decision lightly.

But good point about being loyal to good old Blightey, this being a forum based on people buying cars from Japan - or is that different?

And not one of them would you take over an Audi, Porsche, BMW etc, etc if it was your money.

Oh I don't know, I'd have a Noble over most things as a second car - Certainly above any Audi or BMW, and any Porsche aside from a GT3.


Having said that, the engine in a Noble is a ford
