The MLB has not turned up a coin, although I have discovered a number of items in her, such as hello kitty cookies, a ski pass from Hokkaido, some boy band CD and a girl band CD. *Since, however, my buddy Tak has provided the MLB with a five yen coin (the one with the sakura {cherry blossom} on it)*, which sits currently wedged between the binnacle and the deck of the front console.Shaun Van Ramen wrote:All Delica's have a 1 yen coin in them and the are useful...
If you go to Japan or want to derail a train!

I run mine for one minute. Just long enough for it to freak people out a little. Seriously though, I was hoping for a burger.Glenn Delwood wrote: Thanks for chipping in.

No coin, no burger, no tapes...
Falco got it. In case he is the only one that went with the timer. I've been thinking of putting a timer in, as I've been reading this forum more and more. Lately I've just been waiting to let the turbo cool off and while I was looking around, I found this little cable + device. Lo and behold, it said timer on it. So I turn on the engine, I turn on the newly found timer, get my keys ready to lock her up (in case it DID work) so I can figure out if it's gonna let me walk away from it with it cooling off by itself. It did. So now I'm letting it do its thing.
Falco you rock.
QUESTION: how long should I run the timer?
Well, I'd like to thank my producers and all the people who helped me win this coveted prize. Although I appreciate the cudos I must confer the honour to Dfnder who got it before me. Also, I must admit that when you said "timer" ~ I was thinking of something more along the lines of "egg timer", or one of those digital things that turn up under passenger seats.Glenn Delwood wrote: Thanks for chipping in.

QUESTION: how long should I run the timer?
I so relate to these sentiments. I get out of the wagon and people jump up and say: "My god man, are you just going to leave it running?! What about the environment?" I used to try to explain that by leaving her running for the added minute I was helping the environment by spooling down the turbo but they tend not to see that far. So what I do now is play on the relative exoticness of the Starwagon and show them my key and reply "I've engaged the shut-down process" as if everyone knows that and people respond "ahhh", knowingly and with a puzzled face ~ perhaps some still wondering if they have just been duped. But by then the motor stops.macro wrote:I run mine for one minute. Just long enough for it to freak people out a little. Seriously though, I was hoping for a burger.
I believe that is only in Vancouver City, not the Lower Mainland, as far as I know. It's also very clear that thou shalt not idle for longer than three minutes... It doesn't mention anything about revving...Shaun Van Ramen wrote:In Vancouver you get three minutes before they can give you a ticket.
When I was getting my system programmed, I was under the understanding that B.C. is fifteen minutes. Having said that I've seen many a semi tractor running for long periods of time, 'though they are usually running at higher revs, like 1100RPM ~ don't know if that makes a difference.
