You should walk your DC17 like a dog.  In the very least, it's a conversation piece...

Wrap an American flag graphic around it like the Americaners do with the Mini Cooper and the British flag.

Ok, keep doing more of the same.  That always yields different results each time!

That's the one I heard

In 2011 I was collecting a DC07 standard with my dad and that song was stuck in my head
So that song reminds me of early DC07 standards 😬

We made dirty jokes with the way it sounded in school

How inmature we were :))

TRANSFORMER UPDATE:

I bought this to use with my DC17, it worked for about 5 mins then blew itself. My vacuum stopped like there was a power cut.

The DC17? Bloody beast! Never had a vacuum groom so well, it picked up a hell of a lot from two rugs, I'd expect to get this amount around the whole house with a DC07.  The hose suction is like a DC04 though?!

Anyway, I really need a good transformer that will handle a 1400W DC17 being used every day for about 10 mins everyday. This industrial one just blew up so I'm losing hope

Im not sure wether it would work? but could you not wire up a dc04 zorbster toc to it and connect the power then have the 110v wires, wired how they need to be to produce 110v to motor?

I'm sure the DC04 too Has a speed control rather than a voltage controller

I'd say you need a new hobby but frankly you're not getting into trouble, so why not?  ;D

You should find a way to turn this into a way to meet girls.
