The Dashboard Game!


Shackleton

Recommended Posts

Jesus this reminds me of the Will Ferrell parody of Jeopardy with Burt Reynolds and Sean Connery

Reynolds: "Eh yeah I'll take the 'Ape Tit' thing for $400"

Trebek: " It's A Petit Dejeuner" - oh forget it, next question - The Noise a Dog Makes?

Connery: MOOO

Trebek: No a dog doesn't go moo

Connery: Well thats the noise your mother made last night

Trebek: Please refrain from the slurs, I would have accepted bark or ruff

Connery: Ah rough, just how your mother likes it Trebek

EDIT: Steve, I've spent hours with the loom in the house cross checking wiring diagrams, wire colours and tracing the little printed paths to the various warning lamps but the guages are much harder cause you can't see into the instruments from the back if you know what I mean. Out of the house now but will trace the wire colours - good thinking!

I'd obviously guessed IGN and GND and I'm fairly sure TA is Tach but as it's wired right now the speedo comes up to 10mph with ign on, the fuel low warning light seems to work fine but unless there isn't enough fuel in it yet the guage doesn't come up and I can get a coolant temp reading but I'm not convinced it's actually originating from a coolant temp sensor :D

Still so far I'm enjoying the thread LOL
