This isn't "exactly" soaring related, but I know there are a lot of
engineers on this NG. I have a refrigerator in my car and I would like to
wire a timer to it to kick it on at certain times. It can be battery
operated or operate off of the 12V if it has a small current. I don't want
it running all the time, but I would like to find a cold refreshing drink
when I get to my car in the evening. Any ideas are much appreciated.

1st you need something that controls DC, you can't modify a mains
programmable timer because the control device is incompatible with the cars
12v DC.
Something like this - http://www.canfieldconnector.com/electronic_timers.htm
Industrial control or home automation places may be able to help.
Of course you could atttach a PDA with voice recognition to a radio in the
vehicle. Calling 'Xray Xray 5 minutes out' would kick the fridge into
hyperfreeze and ensure that the ale was really up to scratch!
