Very nice display you have there!

Just had a look out of the window, in the general direction of MK I can see the glow!

Er... Yes!! Sad as I am, I spent last year buying just about every in-car Christmas decoration I could find to shove in the 480 - looked awesome, if I do say so myself!! May put it all in the 360 this year as it has nice big windows. Ooooh and I have in-car flashing red+green LED's this year... Nothing like attracting attention to an old 360!

Somebody (I think it was my brother ) put the house in for a local competition on BBC Three counties radio and it has been officially crowned the brightest light display in Milton Keynes
