Flat battery!!! :-( Going to build a jumper cable tonight and wait patiently for someone to offer their car/battery to help. Shops have been closed for two hours, can't go now because have to meet wife later, so will have to go later and do them after dinner in some fancy restaurant opening/tasting she's taking me to. Hopefully someone, anyone, comes home to the carpark while I wait... otherwise it'll be tomorrow. By that time of night, it might be tomorrow anyway!!! :-/ Damn it!

Woops, never updated this. Had MONSTER noise issues like never before. As in 1000:1 noise to signal ratio LOL. IE, no signal, just noise. SO, I think I'm feeding a heavy fet from the signal ground and the signal ground from the heavy duty ground? Can't think of much else that could be wrong.

And, to motivate myself to get this fucking thing drivable and do a skid vid for this thread, I have purchased this extravagant item:

I've not had any of these for a few weeks since I noticed about 0.5 litre of fat on my guts that I'm not fond of. Kinda missing the taste. Sitting right below my monitor saying "don't eat me, make the car run".

Torture. Self inflicted. Do un to others as you'd have done un to you! And thus I do.

Still no progress, sorry. I bought a second bag for the end of the America's Cup series, though. I figure if we win, I'll celebrate and eat them. If we lose, I'll drown my sorrows in the bag, too. :-p
