There are portable platforms for launching missiles I'm sure but that's a different type of device as far as I know.

Sure, but it could feasibly be called a laptop if it has a screen and buttons and a hinge? Especially if it can only blow things up and you can't play games on it or look at TikTok videos?

Screen, buttons and a hinge...



(hey, this is asinine, so anything goes.)

I had a look. Can you name what they all do? I have: lights (L), choke (C) and the red one I think is bonnet release. The lowest one I think is the heater. One is the windscreens wipers (maybe the S?). That leaves two unknowns. Any clues?

c = choke (cold start enrich fuel mixture)
w = wipers
l = lights
s = starter (pull out to operate starter motor)
Red with a warning triangle is hazard warning switch - all four indicators flash most likely aftermarket item might be dealer fitted
button on floor below clutch is head lamp main/dip beam switch
the lower black knob wind screen washer pump
The pull out control above the temperature gauge is most likely heater control it basically opens a valve allowing hot water in the engine to flow through the radiator...
the stalk on the left of the steering wheel is indicators only
Horn push likely centre of steering wheel
