I've heard of that book a few times, could be something in that as gold is not a very useful material in abundance, for instance industrial use. Maybe we are just hoarding it for a purpose later.

Another part is that if they do not agree with us we kill them all.

Proof: ‘The Clangers’ - The beginning. One of my favourite books of all time is ‘The Foundations of Astronomy’ and I’ve read it over many times, studied it as an extra for a year also. There is a chapter in it that basically says if you are a believer this section is relevant, if not then...

Absolutely. i’ll bet most people on this forum already have not just the ‘Periodic Table of Elements’ memorised, but also the ‘Standard Model of Elementary Particles’. There are some clever cookies on this site 😂.

It will be very interesting to see whether those Tardigrades are surviving on the moon after crash landing there. 🐛 I also find the subject of entangled photons very interesting as it makes the speed of light for communications look like a Robin Reliant trying to race a Corvette. There are...

Thats interesting, thanks allot. I can see allot of experience coming out on this topic that I had no idea about 🤷🏻‍♂️.

I had a set of XJR levers and they were so far out of spec for my VMax I would have needed to do some welding, chopping and machining. I’ll have a look on ebay as mentioned and see if anything has changed since the last time I was looking.

Can I ask you where you got the adjustable levers, I could not find any in the UK, and ended up heating and bending mine to better suit my hands. But i’m always wary of doing that and would prefer an adjustable set. Appreciated if you had any info in the above.

You are right on your thoughts. Through experience of changing discs, pads, callipers on bike and cars, old or uneven pads do cause scores on disks. I have a small milling machine and flatten them out that way, but only if the disks are not that great as old pads composite materials breaks...

Stock Gen 1 using E5 fuel in the UK, I get 40MPG at between 60 and 80 MPH. But there will be a slight difference from US to UK gallon. Also; at tick-over 250 ml's per 20 mins.

Are you even sure thats what you will use first 😂 How much additional time will you add on to find your cross head driver and hex keys ;)

As an addition, I do all that plus I’m upside down using mirrors also, it’s a good test on oneself. :confused:

I had to do all that a couple of years ago, its just age, temp, and probably previous owners not changing the coolant every few years.

Please; do not even jest on that one 😂, my glass eye is welling up at the thought 👁 Compressorhead in Amsterdam. Adele. I know who I'm going to see if there was a choice. I really like the Compressorhead video at 8 mins when they do Ace of Spades. Could be the future!

Thats different. I like Compressor the metal robot band, i’ll go and see them one day. 🤖

I've been trying to get an old timers (61 next month) rock covers band together. There is now a singer, bass and me. As its mostly 70's and 80's, and some early 90's. The band name is The Shagpile Carpets as that was the bees knees of flooring (if you had any) in that era. Infact I remember...

That's a shuddering thought 🤨. Although you could have made it allot worse by mentioning Adele!

I remember going to see David Bowie in 1981, and he sacked Stevie as he wanted £200 per concert. It was slash that played instead at short notice, and although Slash is one of the top guy's now, he was dreadful then. The music was just a blur of nonsense.

I'm really glad you liked that post Parminio. The pressure is off for me, erm........ (sorry reduced) 😅. But every day is a school day (if you want it to be that way), and I live/thrive on that. I'm 61 next month and book on courses every year, and have another exam, hence more pressure next...

On a different note; does anyone know how much E5 fuel a VMax Gen1 uses at tick-over. I measured mine last week and with pre-heated engine it came out as 250ml for 20 mins. But the evaluation was fairly basic with a wobbly dipstick. ⛽
