So, I;m talking to Howard at Race Brakes, I get the background on a whole lot of goss on people in the salt game here.......mentions he sold some spindles or hubs (I can't remember) to Gary for the Jag , I get the low-down on the stuff up with the RodShop and one of his franchisees Catching up on some reading here.... So what's the goss? Lynchy |

Now, see that's just wasteful really...if you had of just LOOKED you would have seen that I already had a can open...............two cans of worms!! that's like a beer in each hand , sheesh. Got some housework done in the shed yesterday, by next weekend it'll be back to an operative ,sort of, workshop. I had a bit of a flashback with a collection of every different type of flywheel sitting on the bench..and now here we are buying another one. All the above suggestions/opinions made/make sense....it's a quadratic equation where the knowns are moula and time ........we'll keep you informed.  No big deal Lynchy, but it seems that It was a franchisee who "bought" the Rod shop and pooped in the nest big time...Howard wasn't timid about his feelingsd for the guy, it splattered far and wide.... |

It's Ok Bill , we're leaking the same spanguage ....it's just that there are six conversations going on at once... 1./ There's a discussion going on about our Bellytank and the new motor build.Thanks to all who have made valuable comment. 2./ There's a running commentary from me about the Hum Drum of getting back into the swing . 3./ There's Freud. 4./ There's Ben, now he rides motorbikes and watches too many movies, sometimes he's a little reality starved. 5./There's the Reverend, he's halfway through a sermon about  yawn..... And finally there's you Sparky , asking , rightly , what the hail it's all about.....I'll soon have 'em all lulled into a stupor and it will be much much easier to understand. |

Speaking of sermons, I'd like to thank all of you who PMed me on the issue of 18inch wheels, some good info there...
One question I have is does anyone know if anyone is shipping a car to Australia for 2010?
Maybe for assistance this end (lending a car, lending a room at Dr G's place, T-eeing up some sheilas) they could throw our wheels in the back seat prior to loading...?

That's not just Julia's problem (our dear vice prime minister) with her nasal monotone twang, I don't think anyone knows where she is from*. In the U.S. I got complemented on my ability as an Australian to speak the "American language" so well by a Texan (I'm OK at English, but my Spanish and Portugese is a little unpolished), and I was asked whether I was catching the bus back to Australia one night too... from California no less. Loved the place though, there is so much to see and do in the US there really is not much need to see or know about the rest of the world. rH+ *Actually, she was born in Wales and so no wonder she talks funny... see earlier post on Welsh names. |

If in doubt, it probably IS a mistake.

The most difficulty I ever encountered understanding what I was told was English was a few years back in Dublin, at Jury's Inn Custom House, which had been all but overrun with Welsh rugby fans on the eve of a match. It was like I was at a Star Trek convention, and everyone was speaking Klingon. |

Klingon! Now that's a language!
When I heard that some nerd had taken the Klingon word dictionary from the scriptwriters to make a bible translated into Klingon, my friend and I thought, hmmmm their is something we can do here.
The end result was a concept that might have some legs. Basically; a klingon cover band called "Klingon Nation".
I can see the video now, clean white studio cyclorama, well dressed klingon in a purple silk shirt and lipstick, looking into the camera and singing Spandeau Ballets' Gold (but in Klingon).
My friend suggested "Colors" would be a good live clip to do (complete with shotgun) and I reckon there'd have to be one of those songs with a filmclip of a klingon driving an open top ferrari on a cliff top road with a female Klingon driving her open top Porsche the other way, lots a jewellery and the sun is shining.
Gee, if I only had money and time... it'd be bigger than the Village People.

You guys need to go race something!! Even if it's pogo sticks...(you got them there?), tricycles, roller skates, lawnmowers...something!! Of course, you could always get to work on your build, it's obvious you have plenty of time on your hands, so go get 'em greasy!! Bark those knuckles using the wrong wrench in the wrong place...
You're wasting precious time...2010 will be here in 31 days and you're not ready to go racing yet!! Get busy!!
