Completely unrelated to Mini’s and in fact cars, but I thought a few of you might appreciate this.

At first I was disappointed with the lack of clubman progress, but hats off to you that's a good one.

At first I was disappointed with the lack of clubman progress, but hats off to you that's a good one. Shane In all Honestly, I have a handful of excuses for lack of Progress on the clubman, but ultimately when it comes down to it: I threw my rattle out of the pram and walked away. This was after putting the first gutter piece on. It looks ok from the top, but there is a big mess underneath to sort out, which I can only do by turning the car over. So rather than continuing to make a mess around the whole of the car, I walked away for a “short” time to get some composure and perspective on the whole project. I am back on it now, not doing the gutter exclusively, but getting other bits sorted so that I feel I have some progress while scratching my head on the approach I am going to take on the rest of the gutter. I’m not in any hurry now with the gutter. I cannot spray it for a few months and the biggest issue I have is that I have been waiting 3 months for a new 30 Amp ‘C’ type RCD. All the existing modules in the consumer unit are B type and they will not hold when the spot welder starts. Apparently my 4 year old consumer unit is “really old” and is no longer manufactured (change in regulations apparently), so because there is no standard sizing with these modules, getting a C type module was almost impossible. We now have the module and I have been promised it will be fitted between Xmas and the new year. On 24th Dec, 2020 burcy35 said:
That's fantastic, well done. I have seen this sort of behaviour before. It's when you find a very clever person with some spare time on there hands.😁 Merry Xmas 👍🍺🥳 More like "lets find excuses not to go back to what I should be doing because I am still sulking about the mess" On 24th Dec, 2020 Paul S said:
Bonkers. I too am learning Python but nothing as advanced as robotics. I only need Python because of the lack of PowerShell Support in Linux. 90% of the scripting I do for work is PowerShell, so crossing over to Python is somewhat challenging. I know there is the new cross platform “core” version of PowerShell, but it is really not supported well enough for a lot of Linux based projects and libraries I need. This whole project actually has a big bearing on the “variable length runners” which are currently on hold while I finish the clubman build. On 24th Dec, 2020 minimole23 said:
Brilliant, that escalated quickly! To be fair, the escalation was due to a conversation with better half after a few beverages, when she made the comment “I bet you cannot turn that into something fun for Christmas ” Oh, you do, do you??? ! On 24th Dec, 2020 Rod S said:
Brilliant but you have committed the ultimate internet sin..... A YouTube video in portrait mode.......... Merry Xmas. AH, I had not even thought of that. The first video I shot was in Landscape, but the sound could not be heard over the servo’s. So once I sorted that out on the phone, I tried serval times to get the right greeting with the right song and eventually ended up with the right combination and sound level, but actually never paid any regard to orientation.

In all fairness the project was progressing with great speed and I was surprised that the saga with the front panel wasn't the catalyst for the toys being thrown out of the pram. … It kind of was Shane. That cost me around 2 and a bit months I think all told. I had a plan that by early September I would have had it sprayed and ready to be built up over the winter, so that it was ready to drive for early summer. When I found the rot in the gutters was worse than I thought, then found how difficult it was going to be to get them sorted, it was obvious the shell was not going to get sprayed until next spring, hence walking away. But yes, back on it now so I’ll start updating my build thread in the next few days, once I have some progress to share. ’77 Clubman build thread
