Nah can't be arsed. It's 2h from here and I've got to go to Ikea again tomorrow ![Sad :(](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/sad.gif)
Plus I'm supposed to be clearing out not accumulating more stuff at the moment.
It is worth £150-200 on ebay though... hmm
Yep, I thought was the case, but I don't know yet what the final damage to my wallet is going to be yet for yesterdays escapade and to think that I was just yesterday thinking that I was doing well with the battery being 5 years old and it never fails to start at the first attempt without all the churning over that my neighbours cars seem to go through ![Face Palm :palm:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/facepalm.gif)
Hope its not too much. It isn't one of those horrid stop start ones is it? Those are pricey. Purposely avoided getting one of them.
As for your neighbours' cars, same here. Bloody awful noises. Most of those noises were me until I got rid of the Fiat though

Figured by the time you fish out £16 for fuel, £10 for dinner, £30 in capacitors and 4 hours round trip, screw it!
If only that was generally available to the public at attractive rates of course ![Laughing :-DD](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/smiley_laughing.gif)
EDIT:
OMG have we opened up yet another detour from the core topic

It is pretty cheap. Costs me £8 a day. I use it perhaps 3 days a week as you can power it off and pay nothing while it's not running. Use it about 35 weeks a year. £840/year. That's for a 16 core Intel Xeon Platinum 8000 machine with 64Gb of RAM, 10Gb ethernet right into amazon's backbone and 3.5GBPS persistent storage (I use 512 gig volume).
Main thing is no up front cost! To buy the same workstation would cost me at least £8k up front plus the electricity bill.
