i thought £120 for a cooler that size was rediculously low. the guys using them in bmw's say theyve never known of any problems relating to them and going by the pics it does look the part. i wonder how well they perform compared to the 'big' names at more than 3 times the price...
it looks a very attractive proposition for my next purchase...
