Lo

Seeing the watch reminds Me of when Me and My Brother were at school in the 70s.
We were the first pupils at Our school to have digital watches

Our Dad worked for Texas Instruments and We got lots of cool stuff before it went to market

Had a really early version of speak and spell and pacman too

Cheers

Toadster

Careful... Sorning a lude is a slippery slope

added my winter plans to the first post:

Winter Plans:
- Install meister R coilvers
- Finish Parking Pole install
- Change front ARB bushes for poly ones as they are worn
- (try to) fix rear upper brake light as it is permanently on, probably water ingress on wiring somewhere
- Reseal IACV (as im still getting a whistling noise from it)
- Adjust spoiler
- Get tracking done after coilover fitment
- Two new rear tyres ready for MOT
- Correctly reinstall electrical cut-off switch to cut off alternator as well as battery
- Retest replacement headlights
- Fit offside front arch lining

as well as overall plans #becauseneverendingracecar
