  1. Not a good look, even IF they don't fix the Potholes themselves.. Bad principle. The roads break up because they were never designed to carry heavy traffic and water gets in under the edges, softening the Underburden.. Australia has a lot of roads and not a lot of people to pay for their upkeep.. Nev
  2. as in "Atomic" that Trump reckons will tackle Hurricanes and take IRAN back to the stone ages... That's WHEN the USA Made great stuff. Nev
  3. The greatest powerplants ever would be the Miller-Offenhauser 8* ** Drake line of engine development in the US from the 30''s till the 70's. Very worth a look up and read. I worked on an Offy in the mid 50's. I wonder what that would be worth today. No head join to fail. .Nev
  4. Too much mass of metal per person. Crook brakes and soft suspensions and under tired. Heaps of gleaming chrome.. Mid 30's stuff would do more miles than most others though. Few had decent oil filters or Air cleaners.. Nev
  5. In the States, that works. Gold is God. Greed is good. They even invented a religion (Cult) for it. Pentecostals. Nev
  6. The Least likely party to do that is LABOR with their historical Union Connections. They would lose a lot of members if they did. That's not hard to work out.. I doubt R.G.Menzies would have done it either. It's not a good look and HE had principles. Nev
  7. Just what do LIARS say that could/should be believed? Proper Parties have rules about what Policies they have. There is NO stability at Present or likely with the Hanson/Ashby dictatorship. History repeating...... 30 years. Promises there are just Words borrowed from Trump and Farage and various criminal Nazi's. They have Piles of cash to run court cases. SHE Reads her Speeches, (written by Ashby). Donors expect a return on their Investment. That's who she will be standing up for. Not the Underdogs and poor people. Nev
  8. I doubt It's real or legal. You can't trust the News these days. At Present Australia is a lot different to the USA. When Hanson gets in it won't be.. Nev
  9. To Profit from providing deliberate Misinformation is FRAUD and is a crime. . Nev
  10. WHAT News? THAT seems extremely UNLIKELY. Nev
  11. NO one has YET said where they would rather be ( as I asked earlier on.) Surely the question is quite straight forward. IF you think Trump is BAD, Pauline is his greatest admirer outside of the US,. OME, anyone can check how WE are Performing compared with the REST of the World but that would ruin their case. Nev
  12. And where do they get their information From? Murdock and now overseas BOT's? If they checked things out Australia is right up with the best economic performers in the world. Still got triple A ratings Inflation in control Adequate fuel reserves. Just tell ME were all you whingers would rather be living right now, if it's so hopeless here. Nev
  13. The bigger Motor is already not well balanced. Increasing it's capacity and revving higher won't make it nice. Nev
  14. It's always about him.. Nev

  16. They have just brought out a New More Powerful model, 40 HP. Nev
  17. The sky might fall in chicken Little. Nev
  18. I do see them as a mode of transport but some of them would piss me off mightily in a short time. The heavy steering with a lot of bump sensitivity. Crap brakes, wheel shimmy. One way shocks on corrugated roads lots of unsprung weight. Heavy shuddering clutches. 6 volt electrics . Lot's of Body roll when cornering No crash resistant steering wheels or Panels and so on. They don't make them like they used to and I'm glad of that. Nev
  19. People Have very different expectations for the Bike they choose. Personally I don't like an engine speed clutch (Clunky gear changes) or a Motor that rotates about the fore-Aft axis. (Gyroscopics) and I'm NOT wrapped in shaft drive or expensive plastic covers that Have to come off to get at everything. Four cylinder in line often have tingly annoying vibration Periods.. Some engines cook you when at lights or slow speeds in traffic. Some bikes are heavier than necessary and are too high in the seat for smaller people. Watch spares costs. Some Makes are outrageous and the Parts not in stock. Nev
  20. When you get back into some of these cars you lusted after in a Past age you realise how far we have come with modern cars and they are relatively Cheaper as well., Nev
  21. It's a STATE election, and there's usually a Protest component of such votes. Nev
  22. It's very old and I couldn't see the Point of it when it wasn't old. Didn't Churchill say "Never in history has so much been owed to so few?" I respect good pilots. You don't get your ticket out of a Kelloggs Cornflakes Packet. and you can't fool someone who knows flying that you can fly well when you can't. Nev
  23. Of Course what the rest of the World THINKS matters. No one can TRUST his word. THAT affects everything ALL He produces is Chaos and disorder . More as his position becomes More precarious. Nev
  24. Didn't you learn what a dud was in the Army? HER team is unstable. They can't even agree amongst them selves. IF they got into Power how would THAT work? Nev
