    I love this thing.....

    I know Inc won't beleive it but..

    I set about fitting the Mud Pod with the switches etc. Got as far (today) as fitting the cigar lighters (for power sockets) - what a PITA.

    Anyway it said to drill a 28mm hole so I went and got my holesaws and... 31 mm is the smallest. Typical.

    So, I wondered, how am I going to do this... I drilled out as big a hole as I could with my bits, expanded it slightly with an old round rasp.. enough so that I could then fit in a sanding disc on my... DREMEL TOOL.

    (The Dremel was a gift from my missus and I have never used one before).

    What can I say.... I love it. I think I may become addicted and have to start cutting and grinding and...

    Now I just have to work out what all the thingies that came with it do. Some are obviously for grinding, some cutting, some sanding, some mystery items....

    Cool.

    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I would have been stuffed if not for the dremil with a tiny dye grinder bit , when i snaped a drill bit off in a broken exaust manifold stud. Bloody briliant tools.

    I first saw one in Jakarta in the early '70s when visiting an ex-colleague who was into model trains.

    When I came home I bought one (being an aeromodeller and model boater).

    Boy, has mine seen some use over the past 35+ years.
