For all of the "fettling and farnarkling", you guys have made huge progress in the last two weeks.

So it seems Sparky is hoping for an audio post card from Sunshine Skunkworks and Development.

I'd second that.

I don't know other than that's the way we built it. Flipping it round made the last few bits I remembered redundant. I would have thought of all people Dik you'd have some by-line about the different message sent by being nose or tail into the garage.....nose out seems to give off the whiff of a challenge

I think the inherent truth is that that is the way the frame came off the truck when it came back from being blasted......

I'm trying to recreate the look of Marlo's shop with all the greenery....but of course that's where any similarity ends.....

I woke up this morning and thought " wow , I'm still alive"...the Colonel didn't kill me for using a grinder near his box of electrical parts.....

Now, especially for our cultural attache in Beerhaven here we have a shot of the crew working frantically after installing the "yellow boxish thing" which figured on the wiring diagram published a few pages back...( you'll see it there behind the towering V6), we're not sure what it'll do just yet, but we thought we'd put it in anyway.....this shot is taken , obviously, at the Paris end of the Spirit of Sunshine Landspeed Laboratory, Possum park and Sticker-torium before we moved her into the shed, out of the sun........

ahh this means we may soon hear the snarly little "beastie want a be" new voice  ?????????????

You betcha Bill, the moment we have it turning hydrocarbons into noise you guys will hear it... the last motor we had in there was about half as loud again as the previous one. I expect this will have dB's to burn, our neighbours are going to be dancing in the street.. :-D :-D :-D



And finally, just in case you're all wondering I have had some private tuition on the proper use and application of the GoPro from Tiny( GeneratorShovel)..... we'll be pitting together at Gairdner, wow, I might come home with some useable video.... :wink:

Wow, not only is the yellow boxish thing in place, the power supply has been installed AND you're preventing the fence from flopping over into the neighbor's house while inspecting the tuck pointing on the chimney.

Your talents are manifold, my friend.  :-D

Ja,es. if you learn how to make those highlighted quotes -- let me know, too.  I just copy and paste and add quotation marks fore and aft.  Since dang near everyone else knows how to do it "the right way" I guess that I oughta learn, too.  But please - you go first.

Yup - that's how I mean.

By the other way -- it's now a few minutes before 9 PM.  What time is it where you are?

Greg, do you wanna tell him -- or should I?

Thunddarr, it's 1PM every day at this (well, that) time.  I thought you'd be able to figure out that all by yourself.
