Bit of a random question, but im looking for a portable air compressor that plugs into the car and will pump up dingys, air beds etc, but it must be powerful.
I dont want to be waiting 20 minutes to inflate something, it needs to be fast.
Anyone have one or can recommend one?

really wants to be something fast, not cheap and nasty.

Driverite will be expensive off trade actually.
Search ebay for the twin piston compressors. Normally under 4x4 compressor

Buy a scuba tank off ebay. pay a pound to get it filled and will fill about 30 dinghys before you need to get it filled again. will fill a dinghy in about 20 seconds.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

 Works a treat, although usually it's a lot more than a quid to fill a tank though.

Trouble is, i'll need some type of adapter tho.
