The 50p that never moved

Top man. Remember this is all in the name of science. Long after you leave this earth people will remember that bloke who drove around town with a weatabix on his dash. May even be streets/building/children named after you. A true legend.

Well.....

I feel honoured. The thought of a road being called 'Sticky Pad Street' - my chest swells with pride. I can almost hear the national anthem playing.

"And he did it for others so that others may know" folks will say.

Statues unveiled, maybe a bronze T25 with me at the helm.

Anyway, to assure readers that the weetabix has not been tampered with (ie weights attached or magnets involved) it has been carefully examined by several technicians and a local plumber, and deemed stock:

Oh and for anyone wondering whether this thread should be in the technical section, you can't get more technical than this. Its in the name of 'Science' don't you know - and indeed the 'Prof' who will be watching with great interest.

FANTASTIC

You know of course if this test works, £ and € shops will be flooded with T25 owners wanting in on a piece of the action! They'd better have the stock!

I sense a wee bit of mocking to Mr Covkid (Probable soon to be Sir Covkid) you just might find yourselves looking a tad foolish when a very large weatabix is erected in his town ( it would have to be waterproofed) as wetabix all over the high street would just be silly. It's all very good to sit back in your cozy armchairs waiting for the results of xfactor but please spare a thought for people like Mr Covkid out there risking all just to make this world a better place. Yes you know who you are, let someone else do the dirty work. Some people.

Well I have a dash tidy so I know a weetabix would stay put. Theres a weetabix holder in the dash tidy.

He'll soon be up there:

Barnes Wallis - swing wing aircraft
Frank Whittle - jet engine
CovKid - non slip dashboard

Try a Nokia 6210, sure mine has a special teflon, Zero friction coating - am forever picking out of the bloody footwells of numerous vehicules.

(Barking as this may sound - my eldest at 9 has readthis and we are now doing Sunday morning friction tests for a science project!! Who says these forums a not educational!)

I know, i know.... took me a while, but i geddit' now !

I tried the "All Work + No Play, Makes Jack A Dull Boy" + the "Spike MIlligan Society" forums before settling here ... they were all very safe sane places ...

[Compared to here !

!]

Cool Mat, but i have issues with Wheatabix.... and most other "small gritty, bitty, nasty foodstuffs" ! .... think big family and a brother whom eats crisps in bed... Doh ! ....

If they used a giant Mini-Fruitabix.. it might stand up to the weather better, co there kinda' coated + toughened ... take ages to go soggy {and have a better grip co-efficient too

STOP PRESS .............
The pound shop group have today announced a break from the normal pricing structure !
Hi-Grip Dash Mats are now TWO QUID ... [they will scissor one on half for the origional numeration, but full size AKA Sir Cov's .... Two Notes !]

You see .... what yer' fancy talkin's done now ... the rest of us are now priced out of the market, cast aside like a Cental London Nurse, unable to find solstice without a 50 mile commute ! My personal advice would be not to panic buy at the inflated prices .... Or You May .. find yoursen' wiv' a nice mat ..... and a HUGE Negative Equity Cherry Topper ....

You Have Been Warned ........

[break out the my little pony, for some real scientific proof ...
