I just got home... bloody Glastonbury carnival...took ages to get back... heh.
Spiny are you the 'other' Phil today? good to meet you.
sadly the camera didnt get much further than my rucksack (too busy with hands in pockets! ;D ) but with Bruce and Joe driving thier cameras there's going to be plenty more pics...
Hotwire, the Datsun looks real good on them rotas... fill the arches much better than the old 14s that were on there.

good stuff, we used to have a "break out" box i.e. a box with a rs232 connector to a laptop that read data, plug a manufacturers computer in one end of the box then the car in the other to "snoop" data being read back and forth. we would then write diagnositc programs based on that data... this was mostly before the proliferation of information on the internet...
used to have a miriad of connectors for different manufacturers before the standard OBD connectors/protocols came out in 1996.
got a load of code somewhere on a computer not too far away with protocols for VAG, FAL, BMW, Merc, Ford and Vauxhall, Rover... also ODB/OBDII... not just OBD diagnostics but manufacturer specific stuff and service light resets/airbags etc.
the company i worked for did the MG ZS electronics just before the demise or Rover... that car could be diagnosed and located anywhere as long as it was within range of mobile telecoms masts... you could beep the horn, flash the lights, turn on cooling fans etc remotely...

I know you can get component creep... but that looks more like component leap! cripes!
good stuff BTW... as a softy by trade (windows though) I'm watching intently!
got me one of these eee laptops a couple of months ago... but mine came loaded with XP... nice little computers, planned on getting me a OBDII to USB cable and having a play... I used to do car diagnostics a few years ago for omitec.

cool, fibreglass lesson would be cool, always wanted to try fashion a bonnet out of fibreglass.
As for shelving... I just thought I know someone who has quite a lot of warehouse grade metal racking (the stuff that just locks together (no fiddly bolts), with chipboard shelves... easily take the weight of engines, gearboxes etc...) will ask if he still has it.

Pics look great and love the poster. Almost gave you a call monday as me and the boy were planning to head up to brizzle yesterday, but he has caught some virus and I ended up spending the day cleaning up puke... lovely...now gotta work the rest of the week... love the welding... on my first attempt I probably would have had better luck sticking the metal together with superglue... took ages to master the welder settings...

Yeah the entrance I used was rather steep, not used that one before, just seemed like the most obvious one as you said beach and Brean Down, the one by the cafe doesn't have vehicle access to beach. but no worries, was a bit of a last minute decision to come down, and we had a nice wander in the fresh air and sunshine. Ah well... next time

we could do a playday re-spray... might mean we all need to raid our SWMBOs cupboards for their hair dryers to get the paint dry between coats seeing as Area52 hasn't got an oven... ;D
