Thread drift. I'm surprised he made it to 65, to be honest. The size of him, his heart stood no chance.

That thing is the ugliest butt-monkey I've seen, but it gradually grew on me, like a wart. Interesting about the motor - Vectrix scooter, 7kW. http://www.trevipedia.net/index.php?title=Drive

Yes, it's common enough on production PCBs to have 'phantom' component places, where they've been used in pre-production or design boards, but are left out for cheaper production ones. Occasionally the blank spaces will be filled for a more versatile model.

Frankly, if I wanted to go up the Alpe d'Huez, I'd hire a taxi. Who, in their right mind, would want to cycle up that? Nutcases.

My application for them is initially on the Suzuki, which has a marginal alternator, so I'll be wiring one each in parallel with hi/lo on the headlamp circuit and replacing the main headlamp bulb with a (fairly useless) H4 LED, just to keep something in there. When funds and time permit, I'll...

I put every penny in Russian railway shares. Got a very nice certificate through the post, too. That's safe, isn't it?

Pics, pics, pics. :) With an electronic regulator of unknown design in the circuit, you can't know what it's going to do in that respect until you connect it and measure things. I idly wonder if it might be more efficient at higher voltage, but it might make no difference whatsoever, depending...

I'd use it too, but the price puts me off. However, there's a diy alternative, mixing silicone sealer with bicarbonate of soda powder. Home-made Sugru, if you like.

Sorry, I'm keeping this one with a view to re-lamping it. I like the casing it came in and they've agreed to send a proper white one.

As some of you may know, I am a fully-incensed practitioner of BS, Third Dan of Mince, Guardian of The Holy LED and have a Certificate of Ballcocks (Madras, failed). This diagram is a handy reference chart for those who wish to study the Art... http://www.crispian.net/PTIR/Nonsense.html

I just snapped up the Lidl 48W soldering station - seems ok, so far. I'll put it through its paces more thoroughly this summer when I'll be using it more intensively. Handily, it takes 4mm threaded bits, which are easily made instead of buying them at stupid prices from the suppliers.

When it comes to the Old Masters, some of them were magnificent.

Do be careful, Bond.

It's true that it can be surprisingly cheap to acquire a boat, but only if you really put an effort in to avoid the "hole in the water you throw money into" scenario. Economical boating is achieveable with a bit of care, and to that end I was seriously considering building one - nothing special...

The battery health indicator works by drawing a predetermined current through a known resistance for a set period of time. The resultant voltage drop is measured and, given the characteristics of a particular battery chemistry, an indication can be given of the state of charge or battery health...
