A lot of remarks on the English language! . BUT Who named the little isle , off the French coast , i,m sure the Vikings, ,Normans, Saxons, Dutch, & Romans . Didn,t call it England . spacesailor

WELL !. I,m four score, at long last. AND I STILL DO MY OWN SERVICES . Just need to put the engine hoist ready to haul ME up each time I go under the Paj or Delica . AND I put a ' mechanics pit ' in my garage . spacesailor

Until the French dictator desided to go against tradition . Him being LEFT-HANDED . spacesailor

Can you tow with an automatic !. Of course manual would be best , as No slippage at All . Torque converters get over heated when towing, hence another radiator. ( oil cooler ) The ' belt,s ' will wear faster when towing . ( due to slippage ) . spacesailor

That Must be the one . I downloaded an image of the transmission ! , but how to get it onto here . I well remembered this , as a super gearbox ( pivbegetriebe.png ). spacesailor

My younger brother rolled a ' light fifteen ' Citroën. And that took a lot of doing . Didn,t those 2 CV Citroën have two cones & an elastic belt for gearing ? . spacesailor

And Who mends their own punctures now ! , Only offroad 4 wheel drive knuts like me , ( tyre Pliers ) anyone . spacesailor

My brother has lost at least Three wheels , that I know of. AND he only has servo,s & mechanic workshops service his cars !. But he never does an Annual service , " if it hasn,t been run it doesn,t need a service " & then it breaks-down for that chrismas holiday . spacesailor

facthunter Beats me , only managed one m,i,law, sadly missed. spacesailor

The Road , outside my house was laid so cheaply it cracked-up , shortly after, the contractors came & poured liquid tar into the cracks , and years later it looks like crazy paving! . But it,s holding together . spacesailor

More like Sydney,s Dam potholes . My daughter lost an almost new tyre , squashed it over the rin splitting both sides of tyre. No patches for sidewall holes. spacesailor

Two passed my house , this week !!!!!. Running on flat tyres, & noise of the rims grinding on the road . Saving space for the groceries. With out a spare or a jack !. spacesailor

You should do the opposite to what Other,s tell you Big good tyres on the front, and skinnier tyres on the rear !. When the Sheet hits the fan & you are going too fast for the conditions. Knowing those rears will let go ! Leavinng you with the fronts " steering " you in a Known drift . Becomes second nature. BUT The others say " good front tyres are mandority " for safety . spacesailor

I,m Old & self taught for driving. Lower 10% of IQ. I think I couldn,t get that high, in that ' university derived test ' that caters for " interlectuals . POOR education should Not be allowed to run ' everything '. Over sixty years without causing a crash ! . BUT That last crash I was in , as ' rear seat ' passenger. Knocked me for six. My number teo daughter complained about my driving . So I told her to go with her older sister , who I consider a HOON, Alway racing up to the lights . Tailgates all the time ! , ( snapped her arcilles tendon ) . Driving too fast too close . And scares the poo out of me . BUT has a very high IQ and education , passes most tests with ease . Her son drives around " Eastern Creek Sports " complex most weekends . In his home built race car , But me , lower education, means no RAA maintainance perks for my home built HummelBird. spacesailor

ONE four jet jumbo , uses more fuel. Getting to cruise altitude , Than All the ' small capacity ' piston engined planes in Austraila , use in one whole day !. spacesailor

My Dozens of ' A ,G,M ' batteries All failed to charge ! , After a very hot day in my garage. ( more than one day ) Even an unused brand new one died. ( a spare ). I started to ' paint ' the roof of the garage to try & get the interior temperature down . But ran out of " get-up-and-go " , plust adding ' microspheres ' made ' low pressure ' spraying harder. Also to to spray from INSIDE , to keep the heat out. spacesailor

1.93 ! Thats tall . ,But I had an uncle 6 feet seven inches. ( over 2 m ) Way before we went french. spacesailor

Bureaucratic guessers But the B G s were good . spacesailor

That ' electric mobility scooter ' Is Not allowed to tow a trailered generaor. By ' Bureaucratic Law ' . Now That shows , the " STUPIDITY OF THE LAW " . WE can rideon the ' foot path ' But those power poles stop even ' push chairs / Invalides ' wheelchairs .cannot get past those poles ,& have to risk ' life ' going onto the road . ( the risk of tipping over when getting down the kerb ).. Our local ' rail bridge ' has a pole centrally placed in the one & only walkway. SO The motorist are plesently irate whenever a " silly old bugger " needs to get to the other side. Spacesailor

Perhaps you should have used ' Their ' wheelchair. I had my Last air trip , befor a hip replacement. We had the wheelchair ordered & it was on time every time. My own wheelie stayed home. Not touched since that NEW hip . It must be a mess by now . LoL spacesailor

Whatever the price of ' mogas ' the ' avgas ' will always be higher . Filtration is going to put the $ up every time . Then in 2035 ' mogas ' will be sold only to " enthusiasts " with a combustion engine licence. I,ll just have to see if my " mobility scooter " will last that long . Spacesailor

Like Iv,e said so many times ! . Bureaucracy Give a ' clerk ' a stick & your getting another dictator. spacesailor

It ask,s for the choice of ' internet , chrome , maps or streeview . I tried maps & streeview. spacesailor

J g What to use ro open it ?. spacesailor

Metal props ?. WW2 scrap metal, We had lots of ' Duralumin ' alloy props go through the smelter . Very strong & flexible, suprisingly so . spacesailor
