How about travel blankets? Especially in that good ole tartan red! Luvvly stuff!
Perhaps the naffest gadget has to be an electronic compass for your car! Still I suppose if you can't afford gps....
Or how about an electronic ioniser that plugs into your ciggy socket..
If your just starting out with the boy racers, then there's "alloy wheel look" wheel trims, pukker! And don't forget to attach them with nice plastic cable ties!
Of course no luxury motor is complete without an electric massaging seat cushion, should go nicely with one of those knobs that can be attached to the steering wheel for "truck driver style turns" !
Outside the cabin, top of the list of course has to be stick on fake vents for the bonnet, for that extra "virtual" engine cooling! There's alloy "effect" fuel caps to improve economy, green side light bulbs to attract close encounters of another kind and stick on headlamp "eyebrows", so you can drive about in the dark and not see where your going!

(Or thinks he does:
I fear I may have an unfair advantage here, since the quest to dress up one's car in Asia borders on the religious and supermarket-size shops stock an Aladdin's Cave of strange, mostly illegal and largely useless range of accessories. Since they are all made in Thailand, the PRC or Taiwan, the potential for hilarious Chinglish knows no bounds.
THe following caught my eye and I copied down the instructions.
LED WATER SPRAY NOZZLE
Luminous with nozzle extreme luminous.
Grand your car with luminous LED
Clean your car with fashion LED
Nozzle direction can evenb after 360 until 360 degress angle.
Take off car nozzle and depart from bonnet.
BY pressing nail of nozzle it wil relent.
Disassemble from the bonnet according to the type of car
Can the gum packing also be taken off if prefer.
Pass through the LED luminous nozzle and make the fixation under bonnet.
PLace items serially then fix by nut in opposite direction.
Take care of wire mess and fix properly. Do not let it the engine but connect to battery.
After wiring check for shine by lightening the small lamp.
THe next item could help those in the other thread with supermarket parking damage....
ZERO EXQUISITE THING
This thing is ideal for protection of the bumpers when crashing into another car or when causing an accident when the car is retreating or where that space is narrow.
This thing improve your cat's (sic) elegance.
The adhesive tape for this thing is 3M and no dropped off or gey departed (sic).
Depart the white surface and press thing on so it may have no crevice.
Not by your hands or other impure substance.
After two hours stick it again to make sure. Now you will be able to do convenient drive when your car moves forward!
ULTRAVIOLET TUBE LIGHT FOR FOOTWELLS
Make your footwells glow with purple light. Made in Australia. Whatever do they do with these "down under" :-)
...and finally, the one to resolve all the mineral vs synthetic debates oncve and for all, and for DVD to offer his industrial estate cowboys:
MOTOREX ENGINE OIL: Ideal for all high quality passenger racing cars.

Never mind the drivers I have to have this for our Tabby - he is looking very dilapidated lately (old age like me)
Off topic I know but just recently Growler saw some pictures of Bomag Road Rollers (motoring link) demolishing millions of fake cds dvds & games in a public square in Manila. Looked very much like a picasso painting. Was it all left down as a road surface?
Happy Motoring Phil I

Ohil I, yes a regular ritual when Sony or someone complains. Next day they're all back on the streets again. My personal record (no pun) is getting "Blackhawk Down" within 2 hours of the movie being premiered in the Philippines....
Honda didn't know what they started with their Type R. Everything, EV-ER-Y-THING has Type R on it, it seems, whether or not it has anything to do with Honda or not. Now every Civic since 1996 looks like a Type R.
This morning I was in the mall and saw "Type R" jeans and a Type R television. Mostly comes from the PRC and is dirt cheap. THe saying is that the sea containers coming in with all the smuggled cars, luxury goods, are padded out with mountains of cheap clothing used to conceal drugs. Once the drugs have been put into circulation, and the cars registered under fake papers, the clothing is no longer needed gets knocked out cheap in the markets. Growlette got some great "Gucci" stuff the other day for peanuts. Why pay more than you have to?
Makes all those legal eagles look a bit daft really. I have always thought companies who want to protect their logos should make their own pirate copies! I just hope that Castrol I bought wasn't bootleg as well!
Back to motoring and incidentally the Philippines has just discovered offshore oil in considerable amounts. The first stations (SeaOil) selling it at 15% less than Shell etc have opened this month. The plan (if such it is) is to tie this in with the vast potential for bio-fuel available from the country's extensive sugar plantations and make our own fuel. Since the local rum retails at 40p a bottle, should be interesting....
