Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

I mean, I put a 4 litre V8 in my mx-5, which I guess is 'tech I built just for myself'

That's got to be so much fun to drive :)

Triumph had the 'Stag', I suspect this is much the same effect.

I've always loved the Stags too. Honestly the mx5 is a ton of fun just because it's that little bit 'newer', and doesn't have as many old car problems.. but it's definitely the same recipe!
