They were, that's generally how slavery worked. Work, work, work and work some more until the jobs done and if you die or step out of line in the mean time your in for it. I dont see your argument with theorizing based on the evidence we have now, that's how discovery works, based in the information we have right now as that's all we can do. I'm not saying it gives anyone the right or permission to belittle anyone elses beliefs but it's pretty impossible to argue with hard facts.

Yeah 100%, I like the idea that they're was/is some higher form that developed loads of our monuments and can see the fact that loads of the lost techniques are really really unexplainable, but for me it was just time an manpower. The lives of the workforce were disposable so the work really just depended on making sure you had enough jabronees to keep it going.

Should have seen that coming. Slippery bastards.

Whered the alien tech thread go?

Tf tuned if they arent booked for months

Cheers guys I'll check them out, I dont mind spending monehs but it's just a faff buying something to send it back and just wondered what brands folks had had success with I guess. Actual riding gear generally doesn't fit as they tend to stop at XL, usually it's the shoulders I struggle with so I'll give TLD a look.

Being a larger gentlemen in weight and height, I find riding clothes a hard thing to find, either too short in the body so half your backs exposed or sleeve length is too short. Then when I do it's usually a £60 quid fox hoody that I really don't want to smash round the muddy woods in and get ruined. Anyone know of any brands that are just good for being suited for riding in, I keep picking up fox hoodies whenever they're on sale as they're really good, but other then that its abit of a pain to keep guessing what's gonna fit and not.

What's the rear axle Mike? Have the bearing end caps pulled loose on the scale allowing the free hub to wander abit?

Could you not have a cam shaped headset spacer with a short post on that comes in contact with the frame when the bars end up round the frame end? If that makes sense, clamp it with the headset spacers and it just hangs down around the head tube and turns with the bars, just stopping it from a full rotation and shreading your hoses..

I found it the other day, was gutted when the pictures of buckys missus were dead.

I've had more colds/chest infections this year then I've ever had in my life. Hottest weekend of the year an I'm sat indoors shivering, sweating, sneezing an coughing. Cheers immune system.

Abit of filler in the door from a previous war wound but other then that totally solid, it's not even that bad in the engine bay in real life just a tosser of a camera. The engine bay would clean up so well with a weekends work

The ultimate lipstick on a pig Runs at a constant 85* now though which is mega, abit too cool from what I've read online so maybe time to throw a thermostat in an let it cycle properly. God it really does look shitty on there.

I've got a printer already but really couldn't get into it enough. My folks bought it me as a christmas gift as a kit, built it and got some relatively cool prints from it but the software wasn't too easy to use and troubleshooting with the printer was a nightmare. I've only heard good things about the ender so might give one a go! Cheers dude.

What printer was that on dude? Looks a good print! Edit - Answered own question when I looked at the print bed logo

Last little furniture piece from me for a while, Jenny nagged me for a plant stand so here we are

My parents have bought a motorhome and every year head to Worthing for the last weekend in July for the Americana show. They've asked if me and Jenny would like to head down for the weekend and suggested entering my fairlane in the show, RIP my bank balance, would it work if I bought shares in Shell or BP now? Eitherway I've started to prepare the car for the run, spent yesterday servicing the car so filter change, fluids changed, changed the gearbox filter an the modulator. Just ordered an aluminium radiator for it too as the original seems to be weeping abit so may aswell upgrade while I'm doing it. Need to drop the back axle now and get the rear wheels off for new tyres (you cant take the wheels off, the axle doesn't drop low enough to get them out). Adjust the brakes up and should be good to go! Looking forward to it!

Nice Paul, I like that. We needed a storage area in our living room as we didnt have anywhere for the Hoover and usual house tackle, but wanted to keep it in with our mid century modern kinda vibe.. Built to stools to match too.. I've built a tall cabinet at the side that's standard furniture grade satin white to stash the Hoover, ironing board and clothes dryer and crap in..

Problem is I'd begrudge buying a loom and butchering it to suit all the additional stuff. I have a loom ready to go, just cant be arsed to spend all the time fitting when I'll be tailoring it around for this season atleast. f**k you yanktanks only let me down once and that was a head gasket on a baking hot day I'm not entirely sure why they dont like the nodiz guy on TM, they're some back story about how hes tried to sue the forum for some reason but not sure what the story is, so after that any mention seems to just get flamed on there, I've emailed them a couple of times and got loads of good responses from them, so think I'll be ordering Monday to just get the thing moving. Just seems like megajolt does the job, nodiz seems to have a load of extras and better thought out, launch control could be exciting! Nice one on getting it together, you swapped to 10s didnt you? What do you think to the swap? I'm torn wether to go to IMM or NHRA supernats, my birthdays the 8th August so was just gonna cruise to the NHRA weekender and just get hammered all weekend Haha.

To be honest I dont know why I bothered, theres nothing wrong with the old fitting so I'm gonna chop it off the old pipe and use it on the new line. I did buy a handful of all sorts though to just be on the safe side. Plan of attack is.. Get the bulkhead washed, prepped and painted as the turbski obliterated the finish, rebuild the powdercoated subframe and get it on 4 wheels again, drop the motor in with the MED cluth package, bleed brakes and clutch etc and refit some sort of starting/charging loom. I'm speaking with the guys behind Nodiz at the minute to see what they can do for me, I've read loads of reports on nodiz and how good it is but mostly on pintos and cx20e applications and not a great deal of reports on a series, I know on turbominis they hate the guy but think that's more personal rather then the product.. Plan is if that's a go'er to get brake lights, nodiz and electric fan wired in and treat it solely as a drag/track car for a while, trailer it to rwyb days and stuff and just enjoy it/highlight any issues before I try and put it back on the road. It's crazy fun on the road but braking down most weekends sucked dick.

No worries, 3/8 unf if anyone needs to know!

Does anyone know the thread size of the angled brake union on the front subby? The banjo bolt passes through for the drives side flex, just making up a new line to go for the yellow tag master cylinder. To clarify, I want the fitting size of the in, so the line from mastercylinder to the angled union, where it enters there
