A fabulous little salt and pepper 'dispenser' in Bakelite and glass, made by the Imperial Metal Mfg Corp New York, 1930
Spotted this 196 Hillman Imp that was parked near the pub on the highway.

El rector de la Universidad Internacional Valenciana (VIU), Juan Manuel Badenas, y el doctor Fernando Rojas-Vizcaya han mantenido esta mañana un encuentro para impulsar proyectos en común entre ambas instituciones “ya que nos unen los mismos principios: una oferta docente de calidad, con proyección internacional y fundamentalmente basada en el uso de las nuevas tecnologías”.

If you aren’t familiar with the Electric Imp, it essentially provides an easy, integrated way to connect almost any hardware device both to other devices and to internet services. It’s more than just a WiFi card, or even a WiFi module with processing built in - it’s an integrated platform that deals with the drudgery of connectivity, allowing you to concentrate on the application instead of the mechanics. Of course, if you’re developing for it you’ll need a way to get in there and poke around. The Electric Imp Shield allows you to connect your Arduino project to the internet through your home WiFi network. This way, your Arduino can take advantage of the Imp Cloud service and connect to HTTP APIs.
The Shield connects one of the imp’s UARTs (Imp pins 5 and 7) to either the Arduino hardware UART or a software serial on pins 8 and 9. It defaults to the software serial, but there are jumpers on the bottom side to set it to the hardware serial. A couple imp pins (8 & 9) are also connected to LEDs. They can be disconnected via jumpers on the bottom, if you’d like.
Because the Electric Imp can draw up to 400mA on the 3.3V line, this shield has its own voltage regulator which is fed from the 5V Arduino line. Most Arduino compatible boards should be able to handle this amount of draw but beware that some clones that use less robust VREGs could see trouble.

The Hillman Imp was a compact, rear-engined saloon car, manufactured under the Hillman marque by the Rootes Group (later Chrysler Europe) from 1963 to 1976. The Imp was assembled at a new, purpose-built plant at Linwood near Paisley in the West of Scotland conurbation.

A work in progress of the imperial courier from elite dangerous. this is a proof of concept that i'll transfer to stud.io for polishing and for adding features. this ship is 95 % cargo space with no room for any dedicated rooms for anything else or a habitable interior.
1965 Hillman Imp.
Chassis no. 8442002733HSO. Last MoT test expired in April 2008. Entered into the Coys auction at the 2006 Autosport Show. From the catalogue -
"As soon as the Imp was announced in 1963 and it became known that the engine employed in its manufacture had been developed from a Coventry-Climax racing design, race-tuners hustled to get their hands on the new car. All of them however, discovered that the design had been specifically retarded, rather than improved and that getting the best out of the neat little unit was not going to be an overnight job. So it was that during the 1964 season there were no racing Imps that shone all the front-runners were Minis or Anglias. However, halfway through the 1965 season that situation changed. Gradually- and determinedly - the Imps gained on their well-established adversaries so much so that by the end of '65, Imps had outstripped all but a couple of the fastest Minis. In 1966 there wasn't a saloon car race of any importance that did not feature the Imp. The example on offer is a fully prepared Hillman Imp race car, eligible for most historic saloon car championships, with a specific bias toward that of the Top Hat pre-'66 Historic European Touring Car Series. Built around an exceptionally straight shell, the car was prepared in late '80s with all new parts, including a 916cc engine - built and prepared by the renowned Imp tuning expert Reg Patten a unit that would cost some 3,000+ to replicate. No outward modifications have been carried out to the bodywork so that the car may comply with the stringent regulations laid down by the FIA which ensure that cars are prepared to period specification. This Bournemouth-registered Imp, fittingly resplendent in period Team Hartwell livery, is evocative of the late Ray Payne's countless victories behind the wheel of the Bournemouth-based equipe's successful challenge to the once dominant Minis and Anglias of the 1960's. It is of interest to note that this car is eligible for FIA papers and also complies with the stipulations laid down by Goodwood for invitation to the much-applauded St Mary's Trophy for touring cars at the prestigious Revival Meeting. Other series that this car is eligible is Top Hat, which is running a special class for historic saloons up to 1 litre. HRSR and Top Hat's Groovy Baby! All in all, this fabulous race car represents a highly accessible route to top-rung International historic 'tin-top' racing.This car has subsequently been completely restored and race prepared at vast expense by the renowned marque specialists Impspeed, who are based in Lancashire. It has been fully shaken down at Goodwood and is ready to race in 2006.
