Condenser - who needs it when all you need is a potato. [frame][/frame]

Excellent!

The quality of potatoes isn't what it used to be.

My engine has been unreliable since I fitted a cheap imported potato.

Try King Edwards,they make good microchips

I wonder if, at the end of the journey - the potato will be nicely baked ? Or maybe just half-baked.........

Brings me back to my schooldays when our science teacher showed us how to make a clock out of a potato and it worked

Wonder if I could re- chip my modern ecu ,with a go faster type.Just remember its"Never the spud" Unless its one of the new square ones ,the round ones last for years,sorry roy couldn't resist it

Square (presumably cube) spuds ? Whatever next. Would certainly improve packaging....

i once used my lead for a fan belt, i have also used my biscuits [with the hollow centres of causre] for wheel nuts, i am quite good at solving problems!has anybody else got any good tips for roadside repairs?im sure something could be done with a cat or two!

The fluffy ones are brilliant for mopping up oil spills

And, of course, once the potato is redundant as a condensor, it can be cut in half and smeared on the screen for de-misting ;)

--then wrapped in foil and baked on the exhaust manifold, waste not want not!

or shoved up the tail pipe of that annoying neighbours car

I tried a Pontiac potato in my car but the fuel consumption increased dramatically.

;D

I recall some years ago my father's Minor convertible once broke down due to a failed condensor. The AA man didn't have the correct one, and was going to arrange to have the car towed, but I suggested fitting a random one that he happened to have in the patrol van on the outside of the distributor and it worked.

Yes - a wireless suppressor works well too in that situation......

I always wanted to get a potato clock, but overslept again and its nearly 9 now....
Old joke, sorry....

Of course any allotmenteer will tell you there are "early" "mid" and "late potatoes, so depending on which is used will the timing be affected?

And would a sweet potato make the engine run better?
