  1. The Menu-log Delivery Drivers Association of South East Asia were naturally up in arms, as their mopeds only had a top speed of about 50 kmp flat chat with a tailwind to escape these intrusions, and sought some of Turbo's go faster guidance to improve their chances of survivability.

    Didn,t those 2 CV Citroën have two cones & an elastic belt for gearing ? .

    I'm sure you must be thinking of the DAF Daffodil Spacey. Two cones with a rubber drive belt which made an infinately variable gearbox drive. One drove thousands of miles across Africa at the time and the media claimed it was driven by a rubber band. Haha!

    I seem to remember one which was entered in The East African Safari Rally.

    Very " French" and a good cult car. Compare with the Renault 2CV(Deux Chauvaux).

    Can't knock the 2CV. They were quite comfortable over the cobblestones streets even if the seats were a bit like deck chairs, and they rolled like a destroyer.

    my mother in law also wears a jet pack in case of broom failure.

    although a dragon on a broom looks a bit odd anyway even without jet pack.

    Mate, are we related?

    There's a bit of a coincidence there.

    Just wondering!

  5. reflecting how she pulled the crowds in. She loved dancing the Quaker which was a popular dance back then. Unbeknown to many, it involved a quick twice around the dance floor then out for your oats.

    Turbo who'd been an aspiring DJ back in those days and understood technical things, was known to slyly creep in and lift the record players repeat arm which contributed to a much later but satisfying night.

    Bull and his boy scout mates were somewhat overcome by all the goings on and left in typical scout form, even though they had been indoctrinated with their motto of "Be Prepared" It was also apparent that SingleRoot was no good at math and required further studies.

  6. However Plane Drivel "the thick skinned operator" is not offended, or at all put off, by these necessary mods and following comments .

    He too, being an avid aircraft designer from past decades, also designed and flew many control line models similar in appearance to the Facet Opal, and was used to the unexpected arrival of many, leaving him with a somewhat embarrassed look simply holding onto the control line handle.

    However, now aged 79 he is concentrating on developing a personal deodorant for old modellers which smells like burned caster oil, in the hopes of making enough money to pay off his funeral plan.

    Seeing that there's many similar old geezers on here, he's feeling confident of making his sales target. because.................
