  1. There's some real $#!t wine around today. Winegrape growers are doing it tough. It's NOT Their fault. Wineries have been lowering the Prices they will Pay for grapes constantly. Like COLES with their 1$ a litre for Milk. ALL wineries buy grapes from growers but under conditions that VERY MUCH favour the Wineries. All that added stuff is adulteration pure and simple. NO decent supplier would be Part of it. There was a time when Australian wine was the envy of the World.. Early Picked grapes are more acid. It will give you a gut ache. Poorly balanced grapes will include half green ones which will have a sour taste Don't buy anything with a "Whacko" label on it. Some previously well know regions have become too hot to grow good grapes. Extreme weather can ruin all of a crop for anything but Making spirits (Brandy). which would be Priced at probably less than the cost of picking the grapes. It's a bad idea to leave them to rot on the vines. Nev

  10. The bloke who built Lycomings did Build cars and REO was Continental. Car engines for Cars and aircraft engines for Aeroplanes.

  25. Don't worry. But not all bikers see it as you do .The Industrial chains is a common mistake. Lots more Power is lost through gears. That produces HEAT.
