In Canadia they've apparently abolished the number '7.'  But in
fighter planes they have one great big light (and presumably siren)
called the Master Caution LIght.  Once that goes off you go looking
for the little lights to tell you what actually happened.

Rocket, your schematic for the automagic stuff is on 97.146 or 97.219
-- if you've got a 2.1l.  If not, you're apparently outa ruck.  But
suggest you wire a piezo buzzer in parallel with the brake warning light.

ps -- on my brother's land yacht, he has a clothes pin.  When he
cranks the TV antenna up, he puts the clothes pin on the steering
wheel.  So the pin lives either on the wheel or on the antenna erecting handle.
