Re: are v+ boxes of any use?
I wouldn't say no
I suppose we better apologise to the op from veering massively off topic, the best advice I could give is put them back in the skip from which they came.

Re: are v+ boxes of any use?
Surely Virginmedia will chase the ex customer who 'gave' the the V+ boes awayx, then go onto charge them a ridiculous fee per box when they can't return each one

Sell the v+ box back to the customer who threw them out, they might have a letter by now!

Because thats what he said at the beginning of the thread, it would be funnier if the person who dumped them were to be billed for them.

That's who the customer is? The op should sell them back to the customer who put them in the skip

Looks sweet, I,d love to be involved in this kind of work, instead of just the tinkering I tend to do these days.
Ive always had a soft spot for the cobra, I think its to do with the burble of a 5.7 litre chevy V8
