If I see one more web page, or hear another person saying that you need massive amounts of back pressure, or any at all in fact, in an exhaust system, I might go postal.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.

Re: Off Topic
This thread just dropped off my display for the first time. I got worried but then remembered that I could do something about it. Incidentally, never grind with flammable trousers... I'm now scared of farting whilst working on Trev.

Err, I would, but you've taken a picture of it in the dark.

Re: Off Topic
Had a visit from the grandparents today...
got given a set of Victorian lawn bowels that belonged to my great grandad many moons ago; so looks like I'll be taking it up in April for my Duke of Edinburgh and queen's scout awards: seems much more civilized than most of the other options available - I can have tea on tap for starters, result!

Re: Off Topic
Please excuse the on-topicness, but surely the driver of that rig deserves a medal for having the balls to keep the power on which is probably what prevented that literal "tank slapper" from ending in disaster! But what on earth was the camera operator's vehicle doing following so closely behind the errant semi?
And back off-topic; did you know that a Hydrolastic MK1 mini weighs 48Kg more than a "dry" MK1? I just discovered this and am quite surprised.

Re: Off Topic
(On-topic...sorry) Though it is extreme, I reckon it was all being done deliberately. An empty tanker, and a driver behind who is the best of friends with the driver in front, who has seen it all before and is in on the pre-planned Jackass style hijinks. 

Re: Off Topic
Risking an On Topic strike, but.....
Had a call from the Police today updating us on rabbit related issues. Apparently someone tried to make a complaint to them on 20th Dec about a certain video* being posted on YouTube. They watched the video and told her she had no grounds for complaint.
Maybe it shouldn't, but that made me chuckle
* now deleted because she's improved conditions enormously
