  1. Delaying heading abroad. You name a pub, I'll supply brown fizzy from the long bench, and a few shit yarns. You should prolly take the 2T for a blat.
  2. I'm packing to head abroad, but woulda shouted beersies otherwise.
  3. Check ballast resistor and switching circuit?
  4. Thanks. For onlookers: Windows defender offline found some shit after a full scan (overnight on a low powered machine), and combofix found some more. Now seems to be kosher / halal, though I removed an odd looking manual DNS entry.
  5. What's the good oil on getting dns hijacking off a win7 machine? Have tried flushing ipcache, kapersky / Windows Defender Offline, losing interest. About to try http://goodbye-microsoft.com/
  6. Bring the noise
  7. The big race prize day is Sunday, for the Yetchh and Felix among us. I won't be there, but plenty of cool cars will.
  8. ...
  9. Noice. I'll be there, with something to cook foods on. Might have to cut the legs off a BBQ to get it in the Dai...
  10. Weedeater for tall bike propulsion? I can supply...
  11. Hmmm, kids in the Dai would have been hilarious, should'a terrorised the camp with 4 year old drivers...
  12. Was a great weekend, weather couldn't have been more perfect. Sharing food, ogling the yoga-mum and her seth-efrican mate, unplugged, shit yarns. I even read a paper book! The food was a highlight, actually, show's you don't have to rough it, camping. Thanks for the organise Glen, keen for the next. I reckon the kids settle better for the second day, they were all good value.
  13. Sure, why not. Will confirm deets. I wasn't planning on taking the Dai...
  14. Keen. Happy with cooking either way, will get chillybins and ice. YAar
  15. I have another lantern, small camp stove (I believe no solid fuel out of the city at the mo, though GB may be different if water available), a 2 man tent and can pick up other stuff, I'll probably bring a bigger boring car. I'm still working on my camping recipes, but tea/coffee and pancakes have got to be a win, right? Maybe every meal. With candy sprinkles.
  16. 1 edit: so far...
  17. I'll be along. I had thought I would be assembling a POOS daily, but will need a head skimmed (recommendations, BTW?) Will be good to catch up with you bogans.
  18. A glance at the manual suggests the drive can reverse for you. The external switches shouldn't be necessary? http://mgitech.com/support/pdl/Xtravert%20Manual.pdf
  19. Fine with either place.
  20. They say 226g/kWh, so 16MJ/kg, and diesel is ~48MJ/kg, so 16/48 gives ~33% total thermodynamic efficiency. At full throttle, a smaller turbodiesel gives ~39% (from memory), but them are weasel words, of course. From the interwebs: Gasoline engines are about 15%-25% efficiency. New cars are at the 25% end. Diesel engines are 30%-49% efficient. Diesel semi trucks are about 35%. Large multimegawatt diesel power plant engines are up to 49%. (See Wartsila engines). This may still be a useful engine, because it's part throttle efficiency may be better than gasoline / small turbo diesel, bu tI suspect it'd be in production if the advantages were that compelling. I'd heard Prius get a similar effect by only compressing part of the compression stroke (valve timing jiggery), but using the full expansion stroke. Easier to manufacture, (no odd sized pistons, bores, counterweights), just needs cam change.
  21. in your hatch...
  22. Can do 22nd
  23. I will supply DoBro for the poor one.
  24. I'm keen, your suggested timeline should work, I'm just not used to being organised so far in advance.
