I find holding a baseball bat usually stops the
"jokes". Of course, everyone is always the first to say
them.....

Delorean
I am now called McFly at work (although I have been called worse !!)
Anyone got a list of comebacks to the "Has it got a flux capacitor"
original questions I keep getting asked?
I feel like getting a tin of soldering flux and taking this to a large
Capacitor from a Power supply or something.

Does it have the 140mph speedo in it?? (I really hate the 85mph one...)
If it does, does anyone fancy going halves?

Hi Nick
I will look at
your suggestions over the weekend, I have the manual
but the
wiring diagram for the dashboard instruments is not very
clear.
If you could email the wiring diagram I would appreciate it.
Also do
you know a uk version of the sender ??
