Qik Start

WHILE BROKEN DOWN on the N8 in County Laois, I fired up Qik on my Nokia E90 and made a short video for the BMW mechanics located 74 miles away. They talked to me in our SonyEricsson C905 phone while I made a Qik video with my Nokia E90. I needed some help determining the cables I should unhook to make the car think it was a simple analogue batmobile. You can do that with most BMW E46 models and in my case, we tried disconnecting air flow controls from the top of the engine. But unfortunately, it was to no avail and that meant missing the IIA Net Visionary Awards, failing to hit Dublin for early Christmas shopping and spending the night in Abbeyleix instead of in The Clarence Hotel. It also means setting aside money we would have used to visit Berlin in December because since the car doesn't start, it means an earlier 125-point repair check was correct in assessing the weak health of the car's fuel pump.
