  1. So does AI.But they don't stay there Long. How many AI's are there? Nev
  2. He knows he is gone. Those around him do also. Nev
  3. He's also cancelled the Live screening of the Firing squad, The Bloke would have to be propped up and that will not look good. . About 80% of Americans are opposed to it. Nev
  4. AI warns you to check it's advice. Nev
  5. Use a one lobe cam and have two sets of points ( in the correct position) and use 2 coils. You then need a generator, Battery, Start method and a Gearbox and clutch, preferably with a reverse gear. A Jo Hunt Magneto (Fairbanks Morse rotating Magnet) would be the best Magneto. J.A.P.'s use 50 degrees Nev

    Brain Teaser

    Like "Leave it to Beaver?" Nev
  7. Are you the Pleasant Pheasant Plucker or the Pleasant Pheasant Pluckers son? Nev
  8. I think it's out of a Howard V twin, rotary Hoe. A conical cam is not that difficult to form . That Howard motor is petty crude. The skew gear on the Mainshaft (not shown) is Bronze and there's not much Provision for Oiling the cams. A few of them were Put in Motorbikes. Not that successful as they don't have a lot of Power and don't hot up well. The crankcase is Cast iron. Nev
  9. They depreciate fast. A carefully chosen Second Hand one might be worth considering.. Nev
  10. Trump would qualify as most Delinquent Untrustworty, Treacherous and Rogue DICKtator of the Last Century. People will remember him, but only for his Notoriety and the Damage he did. Nev
  11. Not safe for HIM to use Roads. USA has a long record of Assassinating Presidents (or Gangland Leaders)..Nev
  12. HIS team are really "Freaked out" about the Mid terms. There might even be a few who do a runner to get away from the Courts. I wouldn't be surprised if DT did something dramatic and uses it to Declare a National Emergency and declare Martial Law.. Desperate people do desperate THINGS. Nev
  13. TRUMP is FKN unbelievable. Trashed America's reputation easily. Who can trust Putin, Netanyahu OR Trump? How does one deal with People who are LIARS? Trumps giant EGO dictates most of what HE DOES . He has the emotional development of a 4year old spoiled Brat. The American Constitution should have stopped him in his tracks Long ago IF the Republicans had any ethics or Principles. Nev
  14. Trump ( and helpers) just Picked on an Obese Female protester. Pretty nasty stuff.. All on video. What a lovely Place to live? Nev
  15. Apparently Now, Most Food companies are also Chemical companies. More Adulteration in everything. Depleted soil produces crook Vegetables and vegetable varieties are down 90% from what they were 80 years ago. Processed Food can Be hardly food at all. SALT FAT and SUGAR makes up a lot of it.. Nev
  16. We will ALL pay for the Plastic in the environment. Nev
  17. Is there a Policy of not responding to MY posts? The Forum is not very active Lately. I was trying to contribute. Nev
  18. They would regret it. Not enough People to cover costs. Bit like Tassie. New Zealand and the NT. Geelong has about the same Population as Tassie.. Nev
  19. That's NOT what you see when you drive into Melbourne or see in a Hospital car Park.. My youngest Vehicle is 14 years old. Nev
  20. Bob's a bit of a Joke really. When he asks a Question in question time, He run's over the time and is almost unintelligible. Mt ISA now, doesn't even have an RSL Club. It's NOT what it used to be. Nev
  21. Really BAD News! Mens shed OFF because Hip not up to it. I'm close to Inconsolable. .Nev
  22. The chairman ( He who gets the Chairs) at the MEN'S Shed ( It's HIS shed) has a Geely Ev and a new Hip and It's ON tomorrow. The Men's shed. Whoopey! Another Member Swapped his Volvo for a Geely Hybrid. No money changed hands. My solution has been at a lot lower level. A bit of overdue TLC for MY 1998 AU Fairmont with 367,000 Kms and runs on GAS at 1$ / Litre, Never garaged. It's probably running better than it ever has. The motor turns over about one turn to start and makes NO clicking Noises. It's good enough for me. (AND the Dogs). Nev
  23. Lead is Bad stuff. There is plenty of it in the roofs at Broken Hill. Most of the Lead that kills Americans comes from GUNS. The Problem with Russian Fuels is SULPHUR which with any water forms Sulphuric acid H2SO4. Water is a Product of burning Hydrocarbon fuels .2H +O2 =s 2H2O. Paraffinic (chain) Hydrocarbons are C n H 2n + 2. Nev
  24. It was 130/145 Avgas in most radial engines. You can't even get that Now. I started flying in 1959 and fuel was never cheap as far as I was concerned. Anyone who had a Big round motor up front Must have been rich in my view. I certainly wasn't. All of my Weekly income gave me an hour and a Half in the Air. when I started in a Chipmunk.. Nev
  25. The DC4 used to (at AUW 72500lb at take off) do One NM/ US gallon at 200 Knots. Seems good by comparison. You could do even better when managed well in the right circumstances .Nev
