Can you teach me more about lug bolts & related tire tools?

Has it not occurred to you that the nefarious activities of hedge funds in the City of London, Chicago and New York have crippled manufacturers' capitalisations making growth of actually useful industries which export next to impossible? It's just a more sophisticated form of asset- stripping.

He's got you there, Dave! ;-)

A proper one with "Dog Eared" JAP engine is around £35K. Even better but much rarer are ones with Matchless V twins, pay a £10K premium for air cooled and an extra £5K tax on top of that for water cooled.

There is one truly "awesome" one with 2 Scott 2 stoke twins chained together up front. Dunno if it was Green un or Blue un but the "Book of the Scott" said tester said "overtake at 70 and then change up!", that was when a fast car did 70mph and supercars (100SS) claimed to be able to scrape up the ton.

Doesn't help current British manufacturing but the classic car and bike industry is turning over £1m's and supporting 1000's of jobs each year.

A friend has an alloy bodied 4+4, it's about 30 years old now. The factory didn't want to supply alloy body as they said flexing of the body makes the paint flake off the alloy. He had them prime it with a rubber paint. But I suspect the thickness of paint has negated the weight saving of the alloy panels.

And the alternative is? My point exactly. All we get from you Brexiteers is some form of hope for the future. With zero plans on how to implement things.

To me, it is like flouncing out of a reasonably well paid job you've been happy enough in for a long time without having a new one to go to. In some form of mid life crisis. Not the actions of a logical person.

Forgot you'd not be keeping up. I was referring to Fred making such a hash of using 'Newtonian Mechanics' to try and support a flawed argument.

But then most will lose with Brexit.

You've proven on numerous occasions you don't have a clue on Newtonian mechanics.

Do you want me to refresh your memory with Peter's simple problem put to you, that you weren't able to answer and squirmed your way forward with excuses of your own inadequacies?

I'm doing very well, thanks. The only pay increase I've had for 10 years and more work than I can handle.

You don't work, do you?

And you own your own house near London that is likely to depreciate if the housing demand reduces (or at least not accrue so much in value in the coming years).

Thought it wouldn't be long before you tried to bring this up again.

You tried every trick in the book in an attempt to prove my original statement about BHP versus torque in a road going car was incorrect and failed dismally. Despite introducing every single red herring you could find.

And got all upset when I refused to answer all the silly questions you kept coming up with.

So basically, a poor looser.

There was no trick, just a simple multiple choice problem put to you by Peter Hill.

No refusal, you simply didn't have a clue. It was one problem, there were no "silly questions".

Maybe you shouldn't snip so much then.

Oh I don't know, less immigrunts coming in and the place would become more desirable.

To me it's leaving a f***ed up socialist club that steals all our money on the assumption that anything's better than that.

Not sure if you've noticed or not, but there's already a massive number of unproductive immigrants here already.

And increasing those numbers will only make the humans want to live in London less, so lowering the cost of the housing, or houseing as my council calls it.

You can thank that King William for that. Send them all back to Normandy where they belong.

The French are humans, we're referring to Arabs.

I can think of a reason enough for leaving the EU, to get rid of those f****ng daytime running lights. I regularly encounter people driving around at night with no rear lights because their front lights are on all the time, so they're clueless to the rear of their car being unlit. Lights are not required during daylight!!! Fuck off Sweden!

Oh, you obviously have a Labourite council - and my sympathies.

It's more likely the silly local accent (I live in central Scotland). They spell it correctly, but if you phone their number, they say "press three for "house-ing." The S is an S instead of a Z. They've clearly never heard of the word "house", pronounced "howz", to mean "put into a house".
