How's the doggo going? From your instagram posts looks like a cool pup.

Did you take him to puppy school / training?

Leigh, so after ~1 month of ownership how does it compare to be back in a lightweight but less powerful chassis?

Site is so dead lol

Turns out it was just about the cars...

[Leroy Peterson]

Finally back home for good. Can get stuck into the cars.

  So apparently the instrument panel lights on the triumph are purposely fused with the tail-lights as a warning to the driver to check the tail lights... but its not usually the fuse thats the problem, its the contact to the fuse. Need to get my dremel out tonight and also purchase a bunch of new globes. Fingers crossed theyre not some weird shitty sizes.

Narrator: but as it turns out, they were some weird, shitty sizes.

Actually they're not. I could actually purchase the globes from Bunnings (if they sold 12V globes).
I'm sure BA15 bayonet sizes are a British standard anyway...
What is annoying though, is that the brake lights are actually 12V 5W from factory, which is a joke, explains why I could hardly see them. But if I install 20W ones like the indicator, I'll be scared they melt the wiring if illuminated for too long haha oh well, won't be my problem (hopefully)

PS Martin buy this car.

Yeah it's good, handles crazy good and brakes are awesome. 

It's cool having a new car with heaps of modern features with an old school feeling turbocharged engine & manual gearbox.
The turbo lag and when it hits makes it feel faster than what it is, which in a way is good for the street. Once I'm nearing the end of warranty will do some mods surely, but for now happy with how it is, maybe just get a catback exhaust soon.

All good. I bought what I needed for $11.Still got a gremlin where with one of the rear parkers plugged in, it prevents the brake light on the other tail light from working... :confused: I've got a homemade CAD wiring diagram from online, but doesn't really help narrow things down.

My $400USD venture into various crypto is now worth $570USD in under a month. Take that bank interest rates!

It's a bit confusing where values can be estimated/defined to USD, or altcoins against Bitcoin or Ethereum. So with bitcoin rising so fast, it looks like the altcoins are dropping, but against the USD they're increasing too.
