Can you teach me more about lug bolts & related tire tools?

Has it not occurred to you that the nefarious activities of hedge funds
in the City of London, Chicago and New York have crippled manufacturers'
capitalisations making growth of actually useful industries which export
next to impossible? It's just a more sophisticated form of asset-
stripping.

A proper one with "Dog Eared" JAP engine is around £35K. Even better but
much rarer are ones with Matchless V twins, pay a £10K premium for air
cooled and an extra £5K tax on top of that for water cooled.

There is one truly "awesome" one with 2 Scott 2 stoke twins chained
together up front. Dunno if it was Green un or Blue un but the "Book of
the Scott" said tester said "overtake at 70 and then change up!", that
was when a fast car did 70mph and supercars (100SS) claimed to be able
to scrape up the ton.

Doesn't help current British manufacturing but the classic car and bike
industry is turning over £1m's and supporting 1000's of jobs each year.

A friend has an alloy bodied 4+4, it's about 30 years old now. The
factory didn't want to supply alloy body as they said flexing of the
body makes the paint flake off the alloy. He had them prime it with a
rubber paint. But I suspect the thickness of paint has negated the
weight saving of the alloy panels.

And the alternative is? My point exactly. All we get from you Brexiteers
is some form of hope for the future. With zero plans on how to implement
things.

To me, it is like flouncing out of a reasonably well paid job you've been
happy enough in for a long time without having a new one to go to. In some
form of mid life crisis. Not the actions of a logical person.

Forgot you'd not be keeping up. I was referring to Fred making such a hash
of using 'Newtonian Mechanics' to try and support a flawed argument.

But then most will lose with Brexit.

You've proven on numerous occasions you don't have a clue on Newtonian
mechanics.

Do you want me to refresh your memory with Peter's simple problem put to
you, that you weren't able to answer and squirmed your way forward with
excuses of your own inadequacies?

> But then most will lose with Brexit.


I'm doing very well, thanks. The only pay increase I've had for 10 years
and more work than I can handle.

You don't work, do you?

And you own your own house near London that is likely to depreciate if
the housing demand reduces (or at least not accrue so much in value in
the coming years).

Thought it wouldn't be long before you tried to bring this up again.

You tried every trick in the book in an attempt to prove my original
statement about BHP versus torque in a road going car was incorrect and
failed dismally. Despite introducing every single red herring you could
find.

And got all upset when I refused to answer all the silly questions you
kept coming up with.

So basically, a poor looser.

There was no trick, just a simple multiple choice problem put to you by
Peter Hill.

No refusal, you simply didn't have a clue. It was one problem, there
were no "silly questions".

Not sure if you've noticed or not, but there's already a massive number
of unproductive immigrants here already.

You can thank that King William for that. Send them all back to Normandy
where they belong.
