They make a bit of a mess when they curl up under your bonnet overnight, and get caught in the belt when you drive to work in the morning. Has happened to me a few times now...

Hang in there Maverick... I've got your six

really thirsty sitting on couch fridge all the way over in kitchen how do I get beer from fridge without standing up cheers

Jump it, land hard

I'm not a teacher, so maybe I'm missing something here... But... When I went to school, we had these things called 'tests' and they determined whether or not you were actually learning anything. Do they not have them anymore? How the hell do you graduate high school without knowing basic fundamental f*cking English?

My thoughts are you'd want to have that thing utterly perfectly balanced, and the mains on that eccentric crank will require the greatest bearings mankind has ever made. Ignore either of these things and I predict catastrophic failure

Set aside 17 minutes and watch the f*ck out of this... Seriously. My brains asploded. Brilliant.

KILL IT WITH FIRE Oh wait, it has an overfuelling weber. It'll do it by itself soon enough.

Meanwhile, somewhere else in Norway...

Sorry Dan... You seem like a decent sort of chap. And you're even literate, which is a nice change. New members usually need to be re-taught the English language when they turn up here. But... I've been HANGING for an excuse to post this up. Welcome to Rollaclub :P

Not exactly common, that's for sure

That's exactly right... One of the things people (well, car people) notice when they come up here is how relatively new the cars are... Its not because we have more money, its more likely our old car rusted in half :P

Being in the tropics, I find rusty old cars like that amazing. Up here, they don't just develop a patina... They literally turn into rust coloured mud. Leave a car stationary for more than 6 months and its irreperably destroyed, no chance of ever seeing the road again. Even cars only a few years old.

Sortof... Built in Japan, but for export markets. C110 Skyline in the motherland.

There's a few floating around... Mate of mine had one with a 3T-GTE twinspark turbo. Proper quick. Heaps better build quality than a Corolla too, must admit. They sold pretty well in Europe... Still a fair few getting around over there, especialy in the East and the former Soviet republics.

Back in the day... (I'm old, hear me out) I had a brand-spankers-new Suzuki Swift GTi. Now, this was still in ye olde times when men were men, and real men drove V8's. Anything else was a 'piece of jap crap rice burner'... Even IF aforementioned riceburner was actually quite a bit quicker than their rusty dinomobile. Anyway... We'd go out cruising and invariably get hassled my the mouthbreathing mulleteers in their various shitheap V8s. One night a couple of knuckledraggers in a Cortina decided to have a go from the lights, and lost. He didn't like that. Next set of lights her lost again, and REALLY didn't like that. So he decided he wanted to chase me around for a bit. 6 hours. 6 hours I spent with this guy *trying* to catch me. F*ck me it was hilarious. I'd lose him, hide, wait for him to go past, then sneak up behind at great speed with the lights off, (black car, helped for the stealths) blowing past with a little beep beep as I went. Must have done that about 10 times. I love bogans. So simple, so much amusement.

Cyclones, still... Been without electricity for 3 days. 3 EFFING DAYS Just came back on, like 10 minutes ago. Good thing too, I was going proper batty sitting here reading books by candlelight.

My place is about 20 metres inland, which is why I'm not there :) Although looks like Cairns will be missing the full brunt of it now... Seems it will make landfall near Cardwell, which is where I always suspected it would. Experience tells me they usually make a slight deviation to the SW just before landfall, but the BOM track models don't usually take previous experience into account :P Cat 3 winds here, but Cardwell, Ingham, and Innisfail (again) will get proper smashed.

Bit hairy up this way... Currently a Cat5 predicted to cross just south of Cairns. Just for perspective, that's Hurricane Katrina style shiznit. I've evac'd from my place as its only 1m above sea level... Storm surge will be 2.4 metres over the high tide... Hiding up in the hills now :D Needless to say I've moved the JZX to higher ground :)

Cyclones.

Gaaaah the ugly... It burns... BURNS

Monday 11am-ish You have me for all of 24 hours :P

I have seen, touched, and inappropraitely fiddled with that exact engine.
