Hi guys, I dropped my keys the other day and I've damaged the case for my alarm fob. I've looked on eBay for a replacement but I've decided I'm going to make my own one. I was thinking of a gameboy cartrage with the internals removed and the alarm innards put in it's place. I'm not sure if it'll be thick enough though for the battery as it's a miniture 12v one (looks like a very small AAA). I was wondering if any of you fantastic Retro Riders had any ideas/thoughts on what I could use. The more Retro the better

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.

What about adapting a wrist watch ? A pocket / stop watch would be neat too.

Which console had the little removable memory/game thing? One of those.... apart from that, Lego as stickle bricks turn out to be really difficult to work with.

What about a smal toy-gun? ;D Point it at the car, shout "OPEN!!" - squeeze the trigger and it opens ;D Could be quite a show in a crowded car park ;D

Dreamcast VMU ;D Or to keep with the theme, how about an old playstation memory card? Could easily buy two to stick together, if it's not thick enough A duplo brick?

An old relay, or a hot wheels car, or an old pill box, or one of those fisher price harmonica's (the red one that everyone of a certain age remember from childhood), or (hard to find) one of those giant plastic polo's that you used to get the mini polo mints in.
The more I think about it, the cooler this idea seems. I'm liking the vintage pill box idea.

Remember the days when sex was safe and motorsport was dangerous. Vintage bling always attracts pussy.
