Moving to Nelson, what do I need to know?

Lift and Shift are an amazing local company, they would sort that out easily. From memory this only cost a few hundred to be picked up, delivered and installed... -
1992 Bongo Brawny Turbo Diesel Camper - Discussion thread

Looks like it's on the market! What are you going to replace it with? My boys got big so we're resorting to staying in cabins/tenting until they leave home. -
Random slightly cool stuff you built but not worth its own thread, thread

Great Uncle has a Triumph Mayflower that he replaced a Datsun 1200 Coupe with in the 90s, he wanted a display piece for a hood ornament and model. -
So good, it's cool to see this post and know that you've got the skills, perseverance and energy to turn this into something wicked! Looking forward to your progress.

Discuss here about Yoeddynz's little Imp project...

We've had great success with these at school, pretty much foolproof. -

I have names of several good builders, but I've never actually had a building report done. Genuine offer re looking at houses if you gave my wife the criteria she'll let you know every possible option. You get a bit more for your $ out Wakefield way. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/property/residential/sale/nelson-tasman/tasman/wakefield/listing/5562264934 -

I've mostly lived in Nelson since the mid 90s apart from a stint away at uni. Tahunanui is actually crazy good value for a sea side suburb. Mrs is obsessed with looking at houses so more than happy to scope anything out if you wanted us to look at open homes. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/property/residential/sale/nelson-tasman/tasman/richmond/listing/5436851032 this is just down the hill from me and has glimpses of water/mountains River views here are a bit scary on the whole as all the mountains mean they come up pretty fast when it rains, probably a good time to buy in lots of these places for the same reason if you're brave... We don't have a huge 'meet' scene here but I catch up with OS folks most months. -
Looks sweet, I bet that feels pretty exciting. Building the NBC110 up to cruise at 100km/h is on the list of this years goals/dreams....

Saw this for sale last year, I think it went for US$9,000,000. 1966 Pine Green Ford GT40 Mk1 Street For Sale in Florida — Supercar Nostalgia https://share.google/GRdpO1VRIzmpg19Vh

For me, I'm often working with components that are unfamiliar to me, most recently was a number (4) of Decawave DW1000 controlled by an ESP32, solo and with just the data sheets/the internet I reckon it would have taken me a week to get something functional. With ChatGPT holding my hand I got my robot following me in a few hours... Note, I have zero electronics training, I'm sure @h4nd would beat AI.

The code side is something ChatGPT does well if you don't have a trained @h4nd by your side. It's not great at optimising, but it will get you functional pretty quick.

Onshape is browser based so should be Win 10 friendly. I teach a few ultra geeks that run Fusion on Linux, they also do HAM radio, have walkie talkies at school and pick locks for the sport of it...

Yeah, that sort of thing is easy in Fusion too. I'm lucky enough to have ~120 students doing things in weird and wonderful ways that you get the hang of spotting the balls ups quicker. But also you get a range of perspectives to help solidify your understanding. The magic trick of all things CAD (which I've probably said before.) is that the sunk cost fallacy is even more true of any CAD model you make. Starting from scratch a second time you'll do it 10 times as fast as the first. Perseverance is for suckers. Fail fast and give it another go.
