    " Drive " have just today . Run a wet skid course on telly . With new car technology. When one driver tried to use his knowledge, it made the stop longer . Hard on the brake while steering ' in the wet . New tech will beat human driving every time . I hope I can keep the brakes on when the car should loose grip . But doesn't. spacesailor

    I tried that . But they are to small in cutting width .two days to cut the front then the back lawn . Something like 10 inch blade 254 mmtrs . I gave it to a granddaughter, who swapped it for a petrol mower . spacesailor

    I made my own prop . Out of one " Miranti & two Tasmanian oak " planks . This I know! . but I have no idea what tree the wood came from . spacesailor

    The fuel was ( apparently ) contaminated, ' greenish hue ' . 98 by the bowser . Still have a few litres in a 3 litre milk bottle. My neighbours had the same problems. Luckily I hadn't tried to run the Hummel-Bird with it . spacesailor

    No fuel clocks on garden tool motors . I'm, now ' not strong enough' to pick up a four stroke mower to invert the fuel tank & empty it. spacesailor

    The same , on the m4 out of Sydney. Hogging the right-hand lane , then ' at the last minute ' cutting across all the Lanes to take the exit. One P plater actually hit the barrier, loosing his rear bumper. spacesailor

    The cost to repair my motors was dearer than the cheap replacement. spacesailor

    My point! . Those new uneducated drivers , you refer to have learned on the other tack. IE : ,left hand drive cars . there is more of them than our little island population . and we are filling up with them . spacesailor ,

    I refuse to fill the Pajero will Efuel . The reason is it sits unused , for extended time , allowing the fuel to separate. Starting , two or three months latter , it could pump raw ethanol into the injector system. . The damage raw ethanol could cause to the engine is unknown . spacesailor

    I never understood, Why Very few ( if any ) air-outlet's are at the top of the ebay , were the cooling air would be forced up through The cooling fins . When the fan stops the hot air naturally rises. As it does every-were . spacesailor

    The public were not driving. During the ' covic ' lockdown travel restrictions. A great opportunity, missed to have the same model car that the world's majority drive . Left hand drive cars . spacesailor

    so it's not that 'ethanol ' the killed my garden motors . Blocked the carburettor galleries. When left with fuel in their tanks ,which evaporated out through the carburettors. spacesailor

    This government missed a great chance to switch to the French/ American side . While , we were all locked down by covic spacesailor

    How would you ' visualise ' xxxx-B73 when it's heading your way rather fast . Cessna or Piper would normally be , high wing or low wing, simple to visualise. spacesailor

    Not my teenage Ggrandies . They seem to have handed the mobiles back to their parents. spacesailor

    I often hear light aircraft flying to Bankstown. But , no radio call for Prospect . On my. FRG 7 Yaesu receiver. spacesailor

    It wasn't the ' running ' on ethanol. It was the half tank of fuel , that evaporated through the carburettor. When layed up for winter . Next spring would only start on " Start ya Bastard " .. When spray stopped. Motor stopped , but would also keep running if petrol was ' sprayed into the carbie . spacesilor

    I lost most of my garden engines to ethanol. 94 octane ethanol blend . Once evaporated from the carbies, they wouldn't run if you eventually got them started . spacesailor

    Only " dreaming of flying like eagle " . Sitting with the engine running (so I don't have to make silly sounds myself ). Hope I don't take off too " fast " this time . another 3 litres of super mogas used . spacesailor
