I think it's a little box of magic, used to tame dragons.

Congratulations! On getting married that is :)
Now go and have a P38 free honeymoon!

That is pretty slick, and I do like your LPG switch too.

Marty, you know you're right :)

Don't worry, if my DSP amp is still working next time I'm down (and I'm sure I will be sometime!) then you can have at it. I think it sounds good when fully working but I won't be spending hundreds to replace it once it goes. Things have moved on a bit since 2001.

Hehhe. I guess if they could demonstrate that the alternator was taking X% of the engine output to generate Hyrdrogen which boosted the engine by >X% at the same load they'd have a case.

Bet they didn't though :)

He might swap, that interior is even tartier than his! 😀

Of course it's only a few years since the massive oil boilers were replaced with ground source heat pumps which need 80A of phase each...

Oh wait...

You jest but that is a real possibility.

Seeing as I work at a visitor attraction this is going to be a real issue. At some point we will have to dig up our car park and provide maybe 500 charging thingies. How are we going to pay for that? How will we support large events when we could have 20,000 people on site?
We have 450 amps of three phase to play with. What is going to be needed in terms of the national grid to cope with all these random loads in weird places?

Hasn't had a lot of use recently :(

Laundry day at Gordon's is quite squeaky...

Sounds like that temp sensor is the culprit then...or does the solar sensor only come into play once the system is up to temp?

If you become a shed dragger, please confine yourself to the uncivilised bits south of Watford ;)

Not on anything as big as 19mm girth, anyway 😆

Our local MOT station is very thorough and they're good mechanics but they insist on failing your car, then fixing it, then retesting it. Even if you take it in and say "it needs brake pipes and an MOT" they won't fix the brake pipes first.

I don't really think of the P38 as a "drivers car". They're more for wafting along in effortless comfort. As an added bonus they'll do pretty much anything you ask of them but like a very expensive swiss army knife, they're not really about being a knife anymore.

smooved innit!

I'd love to have a go in a Tesla and try their autopilot out. Personally, I can't wait for fully autonomous cars but I want the version that allows you to drive the fun bits and fall asleep on the motorway. Sadly it looks like the car industry wants to only produce autonomous vehicles without any controls at all :(

It's a godsend in those endless 50mph limits with speed averaging cameras. Pretty good in France too because the autoroutes are so empty.
