Honestly Sean, I take even longer than you, I just get occasional bursts of energy!
The TV has been lurking around from the old S8 which had an analogue tuner from the factory, and I've had this S8 for over 4 years now!
Similarly the XCarlink was in the old car and only occasionally in this one.

The camera was the spur, I decided I really wanted one and once I started looking at wiring, power supplies, mounting etc. it all started falling into place.

I have loads and loads of incomplete projects, mostly nothing to do with cars; I pick up the one that takes my fancy when I'm in the mood. Extending the house forwards over an underground 3-car garage is still on the list....
