The man speaks sense. Although, aslong as it was only for a few minutes you should be ok.

How much you get it for?

 

[.GAZ.]

FLOL!!!!

Btw i hope you didnt pay more than £500 for that TV as Comet are doin it for £480

Something to do with the gas AFAIK!

 

[172Ben]

£480? Not a bad price that!

 

[Grant7]

It was only for 5 minutes to get it home from commet, it was £499 in comet, not too bad, the xbox should look a bit better on that than my old 19" lcd. Haha

 

[Tigger]

You didn't quite "get it in" :rasp:

Whats time got to do with it?! lol
Nothing happens to the plasma if you lay it flat that's all a myth.
The reason you shouldn't put a plasma or lcd screen layed flat in a car is due to the large surface area of glass or plastic the screen has. If you go over a bump the flex in the middle of the screen could cause it to crack. So people be warned always put the screen upright faceing the end of the screen in the dirrection of travel.

Would have got the boot shut too if you had standard seats

I think it was to do with the bucket seat not going forward and the rear strut brace was a rite pain in the butt

Ok...

 

[172Ben]

LOL. Ok mate :S

 

[conneh]

I will echo Ben here, he is right.

Plasmas generally have a glass screen, and if layed flat they can flex and crack/break.

Gaz, you also think plasmas have to be re-gassed yea?

 

[jenic]

Fit a 40" LCD in mine with room to spare!

You got lucky lying it on its side, i'd have paid the delivery on a plasma tbh.

I only live 5 minutes from comet so it wasnt lieing down for long. Plus i'm too impatient to wait for delivery, i wanted it there and then. lol

 

[maz172cup]

when u gonna give it a wash????

 

[Grant7]

when u gonna give it a wash????

The plan was to wash it today, until i watched my neibour wash his car and the water froze on his drive and pavement within about 10 minutes so its guna have to stay dirty for a while :rasp:

 

[maz172cup]

yea see wat ur saying - pavement is well icy to walk on - its gonna be dirty for a while - ur better off taking it down the carwash saves ur hands getting all frizzed up aswell
