The awning its self was sound but the side walls didn't stand up to it quite as well... The wind managed to rip one of the lashing points off which I will need to get put back on... I think it will be a lot better when I use the magnets as I couldn't get it tight enough so it was flapping around in the wind

I've been thinking of getting something similar in case I get involved in some sort of recovery at the side of the road, as I have done in the past to help some stricken soul.

I'm not often out in the Jimjam but just last week a motorcylist threw him and his bike on the road after coming out of a side road with full throttle (by mistake I think) and doing an impromptu doughnut (some of it with him on the ground under it) right in front of me.

I fended him off in my black (the worse colour for being seen) Jimjam with just my hazard lights on.

It was daylight but nonetheless! Fortunately an ambulance was passing.

So I wished I already had them. Just a flick of a switch and I'd have lit it up like a Christmas tree!

I got them for when I am pulled over at the side of the road talking to a d of e group

I am going to get a set for the front too eventually

I have been slated at work for having "gay flashy lights" but potentially it could save my Jim from being smashed into which in turn may save my life

Wait till someone at works car breaks down & they want help at the side of the road, or a toe home. Then who's "gay flashy lights" will be a good idea all of a sudden!

I have some of those lights on my van for when I'm trying to reverse my car trailer off the main road in the dark. Its a 50 limit here but they still come past at 90, I had one near miss when one car was overtaking another and I was across the road.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

It was one of those "i wonder if it would fit in this hole... OH F@$&"

Safe to say it isn't coming out

Its reading bang on the weather prediction of 9C and dose not get effected by wind or engine heat so it looks like it will be ok

Where did you get this from I have been looking for one to put in my Jimny? cheers
