I've thought about new dash designs in the past, and I've pondered having more things like head temperatures, water pressure, traction sensors, GPS, etc. in my dream dash. But as cool as those things would be, anything more than a basic array of useful gauges makes it less Vanagon and more like the bridge of the Enterprise. "Computer, status report!" "Gasket breach on starboard head, section seven. Venting coolant." You know, having Majel Roddenberry on a road trip would be *cool*. :) ian Butler / ian@bluemoon.hplx.net '88 Scirocco 16v, '87 Syncro GL |
