About 10 years ago in an '85 900 I owned at the time, the throttle cable broke near the throttle-body end while on a vacation trip. I used one of my shoelaces to fix it.
That shoelace kept the car going until its demise in 2000 due to transmission failure -- I never did get around to replacing that cable!
