Monday Links from the Recliner vol. DCCLXXXI

It was in watts i.e. inputs. They need to change to lumens/Lux. A straight calculation of X watts of halogen=X lux. Add that to the MOT & roadside via mobile phone (then refer to a test site).

55W apparently for main beam.

I remember the dim glow of the 40W non halogen bulbs on my VW Polo of blessed memory. Did 110k up & down the M4 in that thing.

Oh the Polo - I had a Canary yellow one that lasted forever, it was an MOT write off until we fixed the Sills. The Garage claimed they didn't like the welding until we told them it was done by a friend, who used to weld nuclear fuel containers). Lasted years, gave it to my little brother.

Yes it was rather more impressive than the Passat in which I did less than 10k.

I was particularly impressed by the dipstick tube breaking off in my hand, the failed driver's door window, and the failed antilock breaking controller. Had to tow the fecking thing out of the garage for the scrap man to take it away.

At 158k I traded the Polo for a Fiat Tempra, another nice car: if only I'd realised there were only 20 of the 2 litre version in the uk.
