Yes please, do it in pink. I think it will look awesome, but only if it is that pink that they painted the old desert rat landrovers in. I think they were called Prairies or something like that.

Here in South Africa a lot of guys swear that throwing mothballs in your tank increases the octane rating. Mothballs are mainly naptha.

That does sound a bit strange. In South Africa, the power company doesn't do maintenance because they have no money. This is a combination of really bad management by cronies without any relevent skills being given high end positions, and downright theft. It has been estimated that about $35Billion has been siphoned off over the last ten years. (and that's just the elec utility, the other 20 or so state owned enteprises are almost as bad. Our national airline and broadcaster cannot survive without government bailouts.) Also compounding the problem is that the majority of townships (Apartheid era low income residential areas, shanty towns), owe a few $Billion in debt to the utility. Then there is the illegal connections, where township dwellers just connect themselves to the mains, causes all sorts of problems like substations catching fire.
I could go on for days. They don't call it darkest africa for nothing.

Those countries who maintained state power systems and didn't fall for the free market baloney now get the last laugh, and they are much better prepared to deal with a change to non-carbon energy. It isn't "regulation" when power co.s can pay for the campaigns for and promote their own "regulators".
I've also noted that many of the countries with state run power have sane grounding systems, RCD breakers on whole home service for better safety, and aren't running megawatts of power through the earth and aquifer. Like Japan, where you live to a ripe old age with much better health. Finland, France also do things in a competent manner.
Unless you live in South Africa where all our utility power is state owned, but has been raped by, guess who, our very own ex President and his cronies, commonly known as "comrades". On top of this, pretty much no maintenance or upgrades done for the last 20 odd years and now it's come to bite us in the arse. Scheduled power outages are frequent to prevent the grid from imploding, and to make matters worse, the gubbermint make it impossible (illegal) for private companies to produce electricity and feed the grid. Even tiny home solar systems must be registered and they make it absolutely not worth it to grid feed.
Thank God for my Lister, which is also supposed to be registered with the authorities, but aint, fcuk em.

Jackie, would you mind posting some photo's of the inside of your junction box. My Hoffberg generates fine, but the battery charger is putting out something like 60V. I'd like to compare, thanks.

Whether it helps the earth or not, it's still fun to take part in. Also makes the hippie type chicks a little looser. Win,win.

You talk about the 2.2Lt engine. Would that be the 4Y? Is it EFI?
