We don't mention that movie around my family.
My father was one of half a dozen doctors that was asked to invest in it's production
He didn't.

That's not bad, but I want it so cringeworthy it hurts.

Besides, it would have to be jailbreak.

Mad Max four: I trust George Miller wont stuff it, he has done alright so far with his series... Happy Feet was a bit of a departure but still a hero's journey like everything he does.

He took a big risk with Tina Turner in Thunderdome but I reckon Angry Anderson saved it.

I also reckon there will be a queue around the block of Aussie actors wanting to be in it longer than Star wars had. (and boy, didn't that turn out great! :roll:)

Speaking of the Australian language, Road Warrior is an interesting watch with the Yank accents dubbed in. You US citizens should get a DVD of the original Mad MAx with the original voices. Much noicer.

Lake Gairdenr has very much the Mad Max vibe, hope we don't lose it.

All in good fun......

auzzy etiquette

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Never take a beer to a job interview.
2. Always identify people in your yard before shooting them.
3. It's tacky to take an esky to church
4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
5. Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to take the trailer to the funeral home.
DINING OUT
1. When decanting wine from the box, tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to bruise the wine.
2. If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with only one hand.
ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
1. A centrepiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist
2. Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private, using ones OWN Ute keys.
2. Even if you live alone, deodorant isn't a waste of money.
3. Use of toiletries can only delay bathing a few days.
4. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no, as it detracts from woman's jewellery and alters the taste of finger foods.
DATING (outside the family)
1. Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the first date.
2. Be assertive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wanting to go out with you since I read that stuff on the dunny door two years ago."
3.Establish with her parents what time she's expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; others might say "Monday." If the latter is the answer, it's the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.
THEATRE ETIQUETTE
1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the movie ends.
2. Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you.
WEDDINGS
1. Livestock is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2. Kissing the bride for more than five seconds may get you shot.
3. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A sweatsuit with a cummerbund and a clean football jumper can create a tacky appearance.
4.Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for the occasion.
DRIVING ETIQUETTE
1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun's loaded and the roo's in sight.
2. When approaching a roundabout, the vehicle with the largest tyres doesn't always have the right of way.
3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4. When sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it's impolite to ask her to also bring back beer.

Okay, I'm guilty too - I joined in with the Welsh comments, sent the Rev into the wilderness by making oblique references to Patrick McGoohan, then off to the pulpit to preach from the Klingon Bible. Freud got some of us started with Sarah Palin's Cross Country tour, Bob and Ben spun us off into tangents of less attractive state governors, but the issue remains . . .

WASSUP WITH THE CAR, BOYS? :?

Ay

What are you talking about. it would be impolite if she didn't bring back beer

And, "a Dingo took it", is not an excuse.

Votes please.

I'm making the new fuel tank, ditching the Al one
and making one with an access panel.We're currently blaming the Al one for cavitating and frying the pump, access will allow us to sock the outlet, OR, use an internal.......

Stainless or mild steel ?

If it's mild I'll be keeping it FULL of juice permanently(moist air, high corrosion environment :evil:), despite my unquestioned abilities( :roll:) If I go Inox I am leaning toward laying it out and taking it to a professional( :?)to zip it up.....

Tell me.

Stick with the one you have... how is it vented... you could change the way you use it.    What size is the outlet... Where is the pump in relation to the outlet.. How did it cavitate...
I was going to look for the info in the thread... but 50+ pages is like looking for a piece of straw in a hay stack 

definitely not mild

it has a breather in the top,not visible in that shot.There is no filter sock in the tank....just a sump and deep cross piece over to outlet in an attempt to defeat vortexing......we could move the pump further away( longer hose pre-pump).....
