Every home (or shed) should have one!

Obligatory happy, cheery, diversional therapy thread. I spied this
glorious piece of tat via the local "Warehouse" shoppe.

It's wonderfuly crappy, comes in four fetching colour schemes, is a
guaranteed head turner, witty conversation item, and an prime example
of form over actual function.

Specs:

- Radial spoking!
- Tells the time 24/7!
- 18" alloy rim!
- Has matching two-tone tread with bonus inner tube. Value!
- "Quartz" hub!
- Clock hands are a little shifter & screwdriver - with bonus
glow-in-the-dark stuff. More value!
- Did we mention spokey-dokes! Well it's got spoke-dokes for the
numerals 12, 3, 6 and 9!
- Attractive metal plate thingie masquerading as a disc rotor. I
think.
- It cost me 30 quid because I get easier distracted by shiny bike
stuff!

w00t!

Sweet! Would it go faster with trick bits? I could use a fast one in my
office!

The (mostly) black hands are seriously form over function. May get
painted. Or maybe I'll lost interest ... oooo, look something else
bright and shiny ...!

I have one of those. You can even tell when it's midnight if you hold the
torch at the right angle.
I also have a plethora of clocks I've collected and made out of bits of wood
and turnings. I even have an old electric mains clock in the shed. It tells
me how long the power was off when we have a power failure. :-)

no matter what, it will certainly, will be a conversation piece,
attracting guest's attention when they come to visit, and when they
leave

Personally, I am jealous, although I think I would prefer a fine racing
wheel version
