  1. ......evacuation, they cooled substantially to the Harleys, and that's when they cruised up to a country pub and out the front was bull, newly patched and itching for action on his P8C Harley. bull started the Harley which backfired a couple of times, got the front wheel up and pulled a doughnut on the rear. Mahommet gave his WOT and painted a black line through the circle. Cappy on his pink Suzuki jammed the front brake on by mistake and somersaulted onto his back on the line and circle, and it was on.........
  2. I'm not sure what this Green Hydrogen is; smoke and mirrors? An engine running on CNG (Methane) requires very little change to run on hydrogen. In fact Cummins offer both in the one model engine, the 500 horsepower X15N so the modifications from one to the other will be either external accessories or slight. There's no national refuelling network, so it only suits Back to Base applications within the tank range.
  3. .........and this simple act of kindness caught in the throats of the Muzzies and brought tears to their eyes knowing that someone cared about thme. On election night Malc's team blitzed the commos and there were free flights for all at the airport next day and even the bikie's cafe let them in until.......
  4. ........he not only played the latest doof doof or rap songs, but brought to light many unknown facts, like the time Cappy had been caught in the ventilator shaft of the Moorabbin Town Hall at the Launch of Malcolm Turnbull's campaign for PM.........

"How would you like some tariffs" asked Don, seizing the opportunity to milk this little smartass of his riches. But others had tried that on the "Big O" before and ........

  7. I agree with the others, shut this trash down.
  8. Brendan is trying to bring you up to date with reality; picking on a specific detail is not helpful since the situation also involves slashing more than one person to death, kids who were just going about their business, killing people on the streets and killing each other, hundreds, if not thousands of home invasions over the past 20 years where occupants in their beds are forced to give up the electronic keys to their cars and any valuables, several hundred high speed police chases where police have been injured and innocent motorists have been killed, well known "child" offenders out on bails more than 50 times and so one. We will not be letting our police go into these work situations where they are required to protect us without maximum self protection. After any shooting they are subjected to the same laws as us and have to justify their actions. I live in one of the epi-centres where every one of our local bottle shop attendants have been beaten up or slashed, every one of out fuel outlets the same, for or five Audis/Benzes etc torched to the ground. These children have been offending on bail and the Victorian Government may even fall if they can't get their frantically urgent bail laws to solve the problem.
  9. ..........come here as a Traditional Owner of Western Australia, and by the way mate that was a terrific welcoming ceremony you taught us; we'll be welcoming all Mexicans with that soon, but in a bigger and better American way .......................
  10. ............two weeks later that Peppermint character Alaine DeBondegue put an ad in the local Fremantke Daily Dock offering his prize 1334 Golden Doubloon a two headed coin, the only one in the world minted by mistake and said to be worth the price of a Jabiru 230.........................
  11. Well I'm only guessing here, but we may be looking at the beginning of a PL action in motion.
  12. This is just a Public Liability lawyer running their advertising programme the same as anyone else does. Of course if anyone lifts his head and contributes on the Merits of the case he might get a call to come along and help.
  13. Simple; We have a unique Public Liability system; they operate under different conditions.
  14. ....asked to see it. Eventually, for a satisfactory price he pulled it out and the assembled group gasped; it was the genuine 1337 Spanish Goldoon, one of only two ever minted, and .........
  15. CNG was compressed methane, dropped power by about 10%; that was enough for it to get the thumbs down from most fleets.
  16. The cars and trucks that have gone into production are Hydrogen gas into ICE engines, using capsules to hold the gas. They are not fuel cell. However in terms of fuel cell vehicles, I was involved in the Bus Industry in 2005/6, evaluating future product so looking closely at the Perth PTA trial with Mercedes Benz fuel cell buses. To give Mercedes Benz credit due they spent a lot of money setting up the buses and at the end of the trial the passengers liked the lower floors and the quiet operation, but at that time the Prime Cost of the chassis was three times the cost of a diesel. I ruled it out on Prime Cost, without the in-service Fuel Cell vs Diesel Maintenance component, and happen to have 2004 figures here to show the impact, using costing done for another MTT company. Bus Chassis: Mercedes Benz 0405NH/0500 $198,934.00 Body: $225,500.00 Total: $424,434.00 Bus Chassis: Mercedes Benz Fuel Cell $596,802.00 Body: $225,500.00 Total: $822,306.00 Fuel Cell Premium $397,872.00 Premium x 600 normal Tender Lot $238,723,200.00 Even at State Government level purchasing it was clear that $238.7 million up front premium was going to be too big to swallow. About the same time Honda built a fuel cell Civic and sent them to the US where they were offered to customers on a 12 months lease. One of them came to Australia for evaluation, but it all died away. There are still companies trialling them and maybe one day they'll get the magic balance where you put water in the tank, the fuel cell breaks out the H from the 02, and the engine supplies the electricity needed to power the fuel cell.
  17. Good, they won't have to worry then, they're just going about their business in the 21st Century. Production vehicles are on the road, so just a matter of watching the market share now.
  18. The cells I saw fitted across the car under the boot; sealing was taken out of operator's control. When the module was locked in there was fuel flow to the car. Some smart thinking solved that problem. Next question would be range.
  19. ...connections. This was becoming a concern in the suburbs around Perth where big groups of youths, all with orange hair and orange make up congretated at the local RA fields that had recently been dozed. They were crazy about flying the new Trikes especially the new Airborne Aviation T-Lites with the 27 hp Polini Thor 190. They were so light, you could carry them home on the back of your Harley, and this new group when they got together after the flying looked like someone had droppe an orange powder bomb...................
  20. Have a look around. The hydrogen infrastructure is being rolled out around Australia, several models of cars and trucks. I haven't done any work on it lately but I think they've settled on removable fuel modules, about for or five on a car which you pull out, drop in the return slots and take new ones insert them and you're off in about the same time as a fuel fill.
  21. drew the attention of the famous Psychologist Sanguin Freud who single-handed and without computers foundthe whole of WA only had six great, great, great, grandfathers and eight great, great,great grandmothers, so it's no surprise to find the old saying "We had to make-do in our time" comes from Western Australia. The problem was how to deal with it.
  22. ......design of the road and whether bitumen might be more durable than silk. Fifteen people who'd overheard this rushed out our and replaced the silk on their Trike wings with bitumThree days later.......
  23. The Radio Controlled aircraft are legal. The Hummelbird with 9.6 lbs/ft2 (47 kg/M2) or 8.6 lbs/ft2 (42 kg/M2) vs the RAA limit of 30 kg/M2 is not legal.
  24. Some have twin cylinder motors. Most are modeled on aerobatic aircraft like Extras, and they're great to watch because they fly like a normal aircraft and when they are doing aerobatics it's a lot more realistic There's a field with a 1,000 foot licence in the D314 (Danger) zone in the Carrum entrance point to Moorabbin Airporr from the Moorabbin training area, so if you're coming in from the east, best not to stray too far north for the entry. They get the performance from not carrying a human whereas the RAA aircraft are 300 kg MTOW (335 with floats, 320 with BRS) and wing loading 30 kg/M2.
