John Kettler Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 You've heard of a two headed calf, but try this instead. Found it an arresting image.

John Kettler Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 The Russian approach to recycling leaves much to be desired. It starts by stealing an S-200/SA-5 GAMMON long range SAM. How long range? Sites in Syria could shoot halfway across the Med!https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-40900219 Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs a link. Michael Generally speaking, running onto a sports field during game time will get you arrested. That being said, a school prank carried out at a school field, during a school game, is completely harmless. I think the school administrators need to take a chill pill, and grow a sense of humor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 "Warp speed Mr. Button!" "Will do..." Insane. The opposite of being a coward. I once saw a test run (can't remember which track) when they had put eye tracking hardware on the driver's helmet and put the recording as an overlay on the onboard camera. It was really interesting to see that the driver looks as far ahead as possible and always at the exact apex of the next turn. Never really bothering to look at F1 itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Someone needs to take one of the current (before next year's front-wing aero changes) F1 V6 turbo-hybrids to Bathurst.....This year's F1 cars are the fastest ever, it wouldn't surprise me if they could take 10 seconds off Jenson's time!

I took a driver safety training course with At&t way back in the 80s and that was the intructors advice. You should always be looking as far ahead as visibility allows (while also constantly checking all your mirrors). It was an interesting class that also taught braking is the last thing to do to avoid an accident. When you brake you have given up control of the vehicle. It ended up saving my life in avoiding a head on collision on the GW parkway in Virginia a few years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 1 hour ago, Sgt.Squarehead said: Another automotive one, from my part of the world: A few years back I was tooling down my street when I noticed three or four Morgans parked outside a bed & breakfast a few blocks from my home. Now, this is not a big town, so to see one would have been an event, and to see a bunch of them at once is sort of a stop-the-presses kind of event. So I paused and had a chat with some of the guys standing around the cars. Turned out that it was a Morgan owners club get together at the inn. It put me in mind of when back about 45 years ago I witnessed an even rarer event. I was strolling along the road near where I lived in the Santa Cruz Mountains and had just reached the point where it intersects Skyline Drive and there is a wide spot where cars could pull over. And as it happened, at that moment two Mogs (only the truly cognoscenti will know what I am talking about) pulled up and began to discuss their next move I suppose. Each vehicle carried a couple in proper Edwardian motoring costume who obviously took their hobby quite seriously. I stopped while they were there to observe and admire them. After they drove off and were gone, I felt as if I were stepping back out of the looking glass and had been touched by a kind of magic.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Morgan are just up the road (I'm in Worcester), so we see plenty of them (my former English teacher had a three-wheeler). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
