i'm am sick of the stupid fuel meter thing on the dashboard. Partly cos it's wrong, paertly cos it wd be a bit frightening if it did work, and partly cos it's a bit rubbish with a wobbly plastic seethru covering on the lcd bit instead of nice glass, so i don't want it to work anyway. The same applies to the poxy little tv screen on the dash, with the daft controls, as though i am gonna alter the focus to get a better piccie of somone getting minced up in the engineroom, or perhaps watch quietly as the engine drills it's way thru the hulll or whatever, which i reckon is the same as jfm's hopeless P67 idea to have a charty screen next to the bed so you can hm twiddle with colours and zoom when the anchor alarm goes off in bed, instead of argh running upstairs. Useless.
BUT i can't unscrew these dials without summink to fil in the holes. But what? One of them is about 7 inches by 4 inches, other is about 5 inches by four inches. I already have two big radar piccie thingies. Is there another nice instrument thingy? Is theresomewhere that will sell me dials by the square foot? Perhaps a few ammeters would be okay. But then, i wouldn't understand them, or they'd drain too much something. So, perhaps a fairly tame thing, or a repeater, of erm something else in another place on the dashboard. Not sure.
Or perhaps fake instruments with decent buttons for arming and launching rockets would be quite fab. Personally, i am a bit hacked off that moteryboats are really sailing boatish just with no mast and extra engine plus carpet . I wd've thought by now we would have had whole loads of computer things with inbuilt other stuff and loads, loads more dials, like in even a fairly rubbish little aeroplane or at least a series 1 xj6 (but not the series 2 or 3) which had switches to turn on the different fuel tanks which was dead swish and quite handy to stop it getting nicked and driven away, not that that was a particular risk seeing as mine cost only £400 but anyway, ahem.
any ideas? (about the dials, not the cars, and sorry about the thread drift achieved this time within the original post, sorry bout that)
