Hello All               This is why the Memsahib and I go on so many days out with friends and have been to Malta for a week and off to Spain in June for 2 weeks then again in September for 2 weeks (ferries all booked and going in Spitty of course! The Yeti is for Shopping but to be fair is very good) Had a short 90 mile run out today to meet bother in law for lunch in Spitty of course! The Grim reaper is getting ever closer! I can not believe I am going to be an octogenarian in August!!!!!!!!!! Still as they say you are old as you feel?(some days a lot older but still kicking!) Plus lost a few friends over the years so one of the Lucky ones?

Obviously you need to get yourself an electric cat

I've never seen a waitrose let alone gone shopping in one. 

Waitrose car parks now have a space specifically for charging your cat

That's an epic level of filling Pete. Even more than some of the stuff I was slapping in making moulds for the Spitfire panels. Brindisi looks very pleasant. Hopefully minus the bodies floating by... Went through to Stirling this evening to meet up with some of my pals from school for one of our semi-regular meals. On the motorway just past Denny I spotted what I thought was a familiar shape about three cars ahead of me. Sure enough when the traffic cleared it was a rather nice Escort RS Turbo. I waved at the young lad (young-ish at least, certainly not old enough to have been driven when they were current!). He gave it a wee blast past just before he turned off. Made me 'all nostaligic' it did. I had the slime green fiesta tonight as the Scimitar is trapped in the driveway by the skip full of old slates still. And on the was back to Glasgow something on the dash caught my eye. It was the odometer reading 12 12 12. Took me a seconds to register that it wasn't the car telling me it was 12 December 2012 but the mileage with the spacing caused by the LED display.

Good...

Nice to know it is being driven... Looking in from the outside Speeduino seems to present 'challenges'.

Pukka RR run will be a treat if/when I get the EFI fuelling dialled in. Final thought on sync losses is that I re-routed my earths.  Any earth not either the main ecu earth, or a 2 wire sensor earth is sent via the chassis back to the battery, the ECU and 2 wire sensor earths are direct to the battery.  I'm not sure this makes a huge difference, but it helps sort the wiring into high, and low current earth's, and was strongly recommended by various YouTube wiring guides.  All of which looked to have better chassis's and earth routes than my 50 year old triumph... This reminds me I need to get writing the list of tips and tricks for the install before the knowledge decays.  I find technical stuff like this has a fairly short half life in my brain.

See Michael, thrust in 'The Librarian'.

Certainly true for the part throttle advance. It’s actually pretty quick on an RR with speed hold capability and if you just start with 3 or four typical cruise areas you pretty soon can see what it wants without the need to do multiple points. Has resistor leads and plugs. I think the plugs may even be new now! The leads are pretty short and up top away from everything else.
