An interesting if ultimately fairly useless contraption that uses things that could well be more applicable to solve real problems.
There is also an 'advert' for a 3D printer that may interest some.

I liked all the Arduino bits. I bought a load a few years ago and apart from an automatic entry light haven't used any of it yet.

I am quite acquainted with the very same driveshaft on a the BB Clio. New ones are cheap enough not to bother with refurbing them. Worst bit of the job getting the driveshaft splines out of the hub.

Daughter needed a new driveshaft for her 104. £46, although that was about fifteen years ago. The GS ones were £180, in the eighties.

More extreme and expensive silliness.



Alex doesn't seem to be doing much presenting these days, suffering from a lot of negative attitudes from all sides apparently. She has developed it into a huge business though, just opened her new snazzy headquarters on one of Dubai's 'Palm Islands'.

Last one I bought was for a Berlingo 2.0HDi, 2004 plate. Cost me £39 delivered.

Took it down to old Citronut (RIP)around Christmas 2015 to fit it. He charged me 2 & 6 and a packet of chocolate biscuits, or something as silly.

Not really a joke (hence why I did not post it in the 'Jokes' thread), but I saw a valid comment on InstaGram. It went something like "Why are we spending money on Artificial Intelligence when we still have to resolve Natural Stupidity?".
