This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Screwdriver and String
An aquaintance of mine
(not a friend- he still owes me $35 from 23 years ago)
back when I was an Airforce apprentice, drove his car, a shitty Valiant Charger
(an Australian car, I dont know if you have a equivalent)
from from Newcastle through Sydney and to Wagga and back, a trip of around 1200 km round trip using a piece of string tied to a screwdriver as a throttle to operate the belcrank on the carb.
