If Lucas made guns, wars would not start either.

Did you hear about the Lucas powered torpedo? It sank.

It's not true that Lucas, in 1947, tried to get Parliament to repeal Ohm's Law. They withdrew their efforts when they met too much resistance.

Did you hear the one about the guy that peeked into a Land Rover and asked the owner "How can you tell one switch from another at night, since they all look the same?" "He replied, it doesn't matter which one you use, nothing happens!"

Back in the '70s Lucas decided to diversify its product line and began manufacturing vacuum cleaners. It was the only product they offered which didn't suck.

Quality Assurance phoned and advised the Lucas engineering guy that they had trouble with his design shorting out. So he made the wires longer.

Is it worth having a section for swapping of parts? Rather than a sale, a person offers parts for swap and states what they'd like in return?

Going on from this, a section for giving away stuff. Essentially, a place to give items away before they get tossed away or given to scrap or something.

Just an idea.

I need some ideas. My rebel needs some radio love, but no idea where to put it.

Also have no idea, what speakers to put in.

So, question 1: Do I build the dash myself? Ideas?
