Short post for something that I thought of the other day, and really reflects what this car is all about... that being a project car to work on, adjust, improve and really make my own.
The back story is that I have a TomTom. Not because I get lost, Australia only has one road around the outside after all, but because it has speed camera locations on it which are updated. Which of course I have zero use for other than the fact that like train spotting, I'm collecting the serial numbers of speed cameras all around the Sunshine Coast. It's a great hobby that even the fuzz are in on, they've sent me pics every so often so I can mark the occasion if I accidentally don't spot one. Good on you coppers.
Anyway... to business.
The TomTom is USB powered from an adaptor that sticks out and largely fouls fifth gear. When I'm hastily shifting down when I spot another speed camera to mark off on my wow list that is...
So this:
Which I think you'll agree is functional but 80's.
Became this:
Which if nothing else is a better pic because I've got a new phone. But in reality not only looks better but also with two USB ports it'll be marvellous for the longer trips next year.
