Over heating CPU?

Yes true, but for Rob on a computer which is 4 years old. I don't find it useful.
If you buy (or build) a new configuration up to date I agree with you.

A bit like putting a turbo on a morris minor or a 2cv

From what i remeber of a mates 2cv when we were students was not straight lines but going round corners that raised the heart beat

When I was a heck of a lot younger.....
My much older brother put a proper Alfa Romeo engine inside a Renault "DAUPHINE"....(Already badged as Alfa Romeo Dauphine)
As the Standard engine was notorioulsy slow...( not many of this lot know about them, eh...Yves...???)
He didn't think of changing the suspension system tho.... So the cornering left to be desired a lot.....
Power assisted steering was not invented yet.... So it was ok only in a straight line.....

So, as I remember it, some traffic cops were left wondering what went past them.....

Dauphine was well known not to be stable while turning. A lot finished on the roof.... with inexperienced drivers.
The engine was a 32ch with solex standard carburator... so it can't be nervous (no turbo, nor injection). I knowed some using AvGas 130 inside to improve the power (for those not knowing, it was Aviation Gasoline 130 octane).

And you had the Dauphine Gordini (the sport model) with an increased power of... nearly 40ch .

And the model improved reserved for sport professionals at ... 55ch (please don't laugh!)

I really prefer the R8 Gordini, far better and more stable!

he use to make wiring looms for them in his bedroom and sell them , installed a remote controlled hydraulic roof , which sometimes, would go up and down on its own , and had digital rev and speedo in it

he sold the car, after another car mounted the front of his car and stopped on his roof , the front of the car was only inches above the ground
