I cannot do math. 

I’ve gotten a Sega 32X, - even region-free modded version.

... just need the power-cables to arrive...

@DoctorSpuds Clifford!!

WOW!  People have WAYYYYY too much time on their hands!  Pretty cool though.

Skippy Super Chunky...

I ate 5 spoonfuls with milk. I'm probably gonna post it in the food club actually:)

Perhaps the milk wasn't the freshest?  I love having just spoonfuls sometimes, not teaspoons but soup spoons!  It can give me reflux though if I overdo it and I haven't taken my meds.

The milk was fine. I had already eaten some bagels with peanut butter on them, and after that I ate 5 soup spoonfuls.

If one clicks on the timestamp link and ends up in your profile, the embedded video displays. Not in the brief right hand side bar.

Oh, ok Thanks!

I've never heard it before so I can't pinpoint what is strange, except for the last chord seems like a surprise but perhaps it is on purpose.

Song of Storms is one of those songs that repeat over and over without a definite ending so I needed a way to end the song and the chord is just a placeholder until I can figure out how to fix the entire piece.

From what I could find, the majority of people putting this song to sheet music use the following chord progression:

(intro) Dm Em F Em (melody) Dm Em F Em Bb7 Dm Bb7 A Dm Em F Em Bb7 A (repeat)

I hate to read alto clef, but you seem to have the following progression:

(intro) Dm Em F Em (melody) Dm Em F Em Bb7 F Bb7 Am Dm Em F Em Bb7 F (repeat)

Try to change the chords in bold and see if it sounds more like you want.

@GoldLeader Certainly looks more true to the original than the LP800. Appears to be based on the Murcielago too, so it’s got (pretty much) the same engine as the one in the Countach. I dunno, looks a bit too much like the original Countach to call it a modern reimagination. Meanwhile…

It IS nicer than the original - which was a little too flamboyant. This Omaggio is appropriately angular in all the right spots.

The flamboyance was what made the LP5000 Countach so awesome. Every bit of the car seems like it’s trying its best to be something ridiculously cool. (Even its name; LP5000. The number generally signifies the horsepower figure of the car, but they just named that Countach the LP5000 because five thousand sounds cooler than a reasonable number like 400.)

If you wanted something more “grown up” you got a Berlinetta Boxer. 

You might want to try scaling down a DB-21 or -25 rather than scaling up a DB-15.  Admittedly, I've never tried this myself so may be completely off-base, but to my mind removing pins from an existing connector seems like it would be easier than adding them (ditto the casing).

Yeah, scaling down is much easier. That's actually typical in the Amiga world - for example, for the video output for a 1084S what most do is scale down and use a Dremel to cut to fit.  Looks....not great, but works!

What I did was extended the entire length of that DB15 connector to 50mm which was the width of my DB19 connectors. I placed the bits and pieces symmetrically based on the other side which was intact, and placed a bunch of extra pins 2.77mm apart. Next I tried centering the pins (in attempt #2) which looked better, but when I placed the Db19 connector onto my screen, the housing fit perfectly but the pins were too small.

Nice. Does he have a website? If so, can you post a link?

@pacman000 He's a Korean guy that posted it on a Korean community. I can give you a link to his blog on a Korean website that's all in Korean. It's a work in progress so he only posts a few pictures and videos of how things are going and that's about it.

Thanks. Added that URL to the Wayback Machine.

Also check out this Lister XJS. 

OK, it's not a Lister...  But I figured I'd share a couple of photos.  This is the 1994 XJ-S Convertible I inherited in 2019.  6-cylinder, ABS.  Everything works!

A convertible, very cool! I know a folk over in the UK that owns a V12 XJS coupe. It used to run but he’s taken the engine out for service or something. He owns an XJ40 too, but not a Lister one. 

Yeah, the entire Ford T-Drive project was one of those things where you have to wonder if anyone who could see off the bat why this was a bad idea either bothered to speak up or did speak up and was ignored.  The design shortcomings are so obvious that I can't believe they ever actually pursued this idea.

BTW: IIRC, the V16 in the Cizeta used a crank, block, and head of Cizeta's design, but the other internal bits were taken from the Jalpa's V8 (though I believe that stroke was shortened).  Don't quote me on that, though, as it's been a long time since I looked into it.

Read the Wikipedia article on the V16T, it says the heads were taken from the Urraco V8, which as far as I know is different from the one in the Jalpa. Another article says that it had 8 camshafts, so I assume they were taken from the Urraco as well. I’ve yet to find any mention of the Jalpa, unless, that is, the Urraco and Jalpa did indeed have the same engine.

Unrelated, but the V16T’s taillights look awfully like the ones on the Alpine A610. I wonder if they are the same. 

Admittedly there was a time period when Ford fell prey to the GM-style engineering-by-committee that always ended poorly. Unlike GM, however, Ford learned that lesson quite swiftly.

Bueller…Bueller…Bueller…Bueller?

SAVE FERRIS!

Me, but with vintage hifi.

Indeed.

At that cost, why not mount it on a Ferrari or something?  A bloody Prius?  Really?  Would look cool on a Tesla Cybertruck.

No, ferraris are lame. Prius is the most perfectest car in the history of cars.
