 Re: The O/T thread! Short update on the Minor: Starter motor is still down in Lerwick. They have apparently found a company who can supply the brushes, so I'm just waiting on that. Since the car has been in Shetland it has been hidden from view, with only a very few people knowing about its existence up here. Now it's been sat in the garage up the road, it has become a bit of a star, with everybody asking questions about it. Only this morning a local has enquired about hiring it for their wedding.

Re: The O/T thread! Productive day today. Headed down to Bixter, on Shetland Mainland, this morning to visit the island VW garage to buy a new set of windscreen wipers. Expected them to last longer than 16k miles, but hey ho. After lunch at Hay's Dock Resturant in Lerwick, and shopping at Tesco, I headed home. Just whipped the driver's side wing off the front of the Deuche and set about doing the best fix I possibly could to the massively blowing exhaust. All nice 'n' quiet now, and gas-tight too. Let's see how long that'll last.

Re: The O/T thread! Bloody computers, eh? Who'd 'ave 'em? My laptop has spent the best part of the past 24hrs undergoing 'updates'. Left it to do its thing at 11:15pm last night, and on my return home from work this evening it was STILL updating!!  Doesn't bode well for self-driving cars. Can you imagine traffic hurtling down a motorway at 70mph and a number of them suddenly shutting down for 'updates'? Doesn't bear thinking about.

ISO26262 will have that covered but it's going to be a massive ball ache!
