    I'm looking at having an LCD tv mounted in the back of my Toyota Aygo for a trade show. Any idea where I should go? We're in Swords so someone local would be preferable.

    It ain't the easiest thing to do, you could look at some sort of articulated mount and bolt to the boot floor. Some thing like this.

    The other option would be to get a carpenter to make box which brings the level to the boot floor to the bottom of the boot opening, and then just plonk the TV on top.

    Will you be powering it from the car, or will you have outside 220v power??

    I'll be powering from a mains supply. Was thinking of having a frame made like you say that allows the TV to be laid into the boot (screen facing up) and integrated with the rest of the boot so it looks almost factory made.

    If its a large screen you may have cooling issues if its laid flat.
