The green light does not give you carte blanche to drive on, it is "permission" to procede with care ...

She did not take care because she was speeding and texting.

You are not allowed to mow down others simply because THEY break the law.

Deserves everything she gets.

Sounds like a plan for the Newent meet. If it's anti PC then I'm all for it.  

It might involve exercise . . .  

Those with 3 pedals might get more exercise than normal folks ....

My local centre of the Caravan Club ran one a couple of years back, great fun ... but the chelsea tractor drivers all complained about the amount of fuel used and that they couldn't park anywhere to check the clues

So they stopped running them ..

« on: 31 January 2008, 09:23:39 »

There are numerous small generators available for less than £100 that would probably do what you want, and at that price is it worth the hassle of building a bespoke system ??

or

and I'm sure you'll find loads of others if you google ...

The ciggy bit is easily replaced as the voltage change is done in the plug.

 Just make sure you get the pins the right way round !!

« on: 02 February 2008, 22:10:55 »

Make one ??  Male ciggies on sale in most accesory shops, and a standard 3 pin plug in any supermarket these days ??

cost you pennies to do

HOWEVER TAKE CARE !!!

Are you CERTAIN the input to the device is mains voltage ?? Many of these things have voltage regulators/transformers built into the plugs so you MUST ensure you input the correct voltage or you risk fire and/or electric shock !!!

theres a slim possibility the screen ribbon cable has come dislodged  .. might be worth taking it apart to check ?? if it is it is usually just a push back on ...
