The blokes with big balls are the Isle of Man racers. The old Sydney Showground in the 60s was very gladiatorial, especially the speedcars.

That is the case with most F1 rules and hybrid engines etc. Ditto for the endurance sports cars. However, the bottom line is car racing is simply not what it once was. I have cancelled my Foxtel as I had it for F1 and V8 Supercars but I am over and out. The last straw for me was getting rid of...

I was thinking more about lack of noise and smell which is why I included Sprint Cars. Have Indy cars now switched from methanol to ethanol? I think the speedway and drag races might now be the only racing where the races are not a fuel economy and tyres saving run. F1 is also an engine saving...

I don't have the figures handy but from memory the Kw power of the Tesla and the Kw/Hrs of the batteries would suggest range would be short with flat out driving like on a race track. I think Formula E are low power engines and they change cars at the halfway point of the race. A mate of...

I have a question on batteries. I think I posted similar before but no real answer but perhaps someone on this thread will have the answer. Firstly as a qualifying note I know liquid oxygen is a little more then pounds per imperial gallon and petrol is about 8 pounds but they are close enough...

Some weeks ago I was talking to a medical specialist who is a "born again" .....as an aside 99% of medical specialists are in the "there is definitely something out there territory" as opposed to being born again Christians. Anyway this "born again" specialist gave me a simple insight into...

I have not changed to any real degree. I still have several possible scenarios and I vary a bit at different times as to how strongly I place one. I still give zero to any of the formal religions.

Another issue I have in the "bullshit factor" department is the greenies in Australia want us to be all driving electric cars. Can you imagine the increase in each person's Kilowatt/Hours if charging their car each night ..... I don't think windmills will handle that load:D

But why is Australia subsidising windmills while exporting huge amounts of coal? We continually get rammed down our throat the climate change deal and the Paris agreement and while we subsidise windmills in Australia we flood China and India etc. with coal? Something not right here. If the...

I don't think many people deny climate change as it has been happening for billions of years. It is the man made issue where doubt is cast and I think for a couple of reasons. One reason is it is strongly associated with the political left and especially the far left. Another reason, at...

I suggest you check out the clothing of Wyatt Earp and the American West in general. You seem to be at your most active when it comes to posting when the subject is something on which you have no knowledge with guns and American West being just two examples. I think quite a few of you...

I have Windows 10 on all laptops. A mixture of conversion/upgrades from 8.1 and 10 from new and both Hom and Pro. Office365 which is now Access 2016. Also have two with Access 2003 on W10. Very advanced and complex application and no problems. Lots of Access opening Word and Excel and filling...

We have to have an ABN (Australian Business Number) but that is only to register to collect GST (Goods and Services Tax). But that number does not relate to any licence you might or might night need for different occupations. In fact the computer business, whether hardware, data bases...

We are plagued by...if it saves one life, saves one investment or saves "whatever, then it is worth...and so a law is introduced. I wonder how many people on this forum would be happy if laws were passed whereby you need a special licence etc. to sell someone an Access application or even...

Yes.....but gun laws are not based on community safety. In fact many of the gun laws/restrictions go against community safety. Money and Employment......

Las Vegas filled Australian media for a week but like you said there was not much about the bombing. Of course we also had the usual crap about Australian gun laws whenever there is a shooting in the US. Gun stuff is good for the media as apart from the media having no gun knowledge neither...

A bit of gun stuff to help keep you on the straight and narrow when watching the news, reading the paper etc.:D The 5.56 (223 Remington when in a hunting rifle) and the cartridge for the M16 and similar rifles, will be described in various terms such as high calibre, extremely powerful, the...

Australian gun laws introduced in 1996 show how dumb politicians, the media, Gun Control Australia and the non shooting public are when it comes to guns. Basically we have a system where guns/calibres are in groups such as A, B and so on for the licencing system and whether you can own a...

Not so. In fact just the opposite, the same as muzzle brakes. However, you won't pick it up on a chronograph for a few shots as velocity difference is less than the shot to shot variation. In some cases velocity is reduced, a lot and because reduced loads are used. In some cases (most) this is...

The term "silencer" really only applies to the 22 rim fire with sub sonic ammo. Also to centre fires with very small powder capacity and where the ammunition is loaded so that the muzzle velocity is below the speed of sound. So when above the speed of sound you have the very loud rack of the...
