No chance.. 🤔

The NHS has had its pound of flesh out of me. Happy in my present situation, anyway, Ive forgotten most of the stuff I needed to know I reckon. My mind is more old car focussed these days as my beloved 15 year commuter '87 Corvette retired with me! 😎

Hope these Dyson vents work out, maybe it'll change the whole market of medical medical equipment. As Dyson dont make corded appliances anymore, maybe they'll have a real handle on the battery situation. 👍

I remember during the times of the first batch of Colleague pumps when they leaked really badly and had a huge failure rate. I had them unofficially sealed with silicon grease under the handles when we split the cases. That fixed the fluid ingress problem 100%, til they were upgraded with thicker seals years later, but Baxter wasnt happy about it, probably because they seemed to be really struggling themselves. Dont get me started about the ridiculous battery insertion ordeal! Should have been just a plug in battery like a power tool unit.
I said at that time that maybe domestic appliance/power tool companies should have a go at making electromedical equipment as they really know what they are doing. I got derided for that, but it now seems I was possibly right! 🙄

No Geoff, that was on the S600. The S800 had a conventional rear wheel drive layout.

791cc, twincam, four carbs, dry sump, roller bearing crank, it sounded like todays F1 cars. If you ever get the chance to drive one, jump at it! 😎
