You're mad Coop, stark raving bloody cuckoo. But a good sort of cuckoo, glad you're feeling well - what you're doing is working for you so stick with it chap.
How's your niece now?

Thank mate, it really does seem to work, sadly my panic attacks had got so bad that I was not allowing the meds to work by having a few beers to take the edge off, not too many but not a good mix!!
My niece is doing very well, many thanks for asking. She is now back at school and is slowly recovering her hearing in the one ear that she lost it. smile

Good stuff all round there Coop. I know of a few people, myself included, who have had issues with alcohol interfering with meds. As you say, not a good mix - you're certainly doing the best thing.
Hope your improvement continues, good news about your niece too. My best wishes to you both old chap.

There was a thread in GG yesterday about factory tours at Koenigsegg.

I wonder if they were doing these about 18 months ago , when I last went to Sweden ?

I like to think that my road trips were well organised beforehand but that would have been a

deffo visit if I'd known.

The factory is in Angelholm, between Helsingborg and Gothenburg , so easy to get to too.

Kicking myself......rolleyesrolleyesrolleyesrolleyes

My last big trip to Italy this year, I only had 2 or 3 days of rest,all the others had an event going

on.

Iva, a friend of mine went on a factory tour about 2 years ago. He paid around £30 for a 90 minute visit, IIRC...

Just received my cheapo BT ODB2 connector... Torque (on my phone) does find the adapter, but wont connect to the ECU.

Im hoping some other app might do the trick though.. although i think the adapter i bought simply doesnt support the car

Looked again at the Koenigsegg site, tours are $30 ,about 250 SEK , so similar cost to Bomma's friend

2 years ago.

Not sure why they list all prices in dollars....confused

Just checked the MOT history for the old Cos.

14+ months since I sold it/gave it away, hasn't been for an MOT yet.

Last test listed was the 2012 fail I was handed.

It's probably been used on a bank job and now hidden up in a barn in Essex with the loot

Is this the main feature or just the trailer?

I have a wifi obd2 dongle and use Carista without problems in loads of cars ... but I'm guessing you're using android rather than iPhone?
