Born at a young age, grew up, got old. The true measure of a society is how it treats those least able to look after themselves. And cats are evil... I know, I own 2. Apparently I am a Google Truffle Pig.

Leo Allatius (1586–1669), a Catholic theologian and Vatican librarian, proposed that the rings of Saturn were the ascended foreskin (Holy Prepuce) of Jesus Christ. He detailed this, along with other, in his 17th-century treatise De Praeputio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Diatriba...

Troglodites pissing and moaning about "Chinah!" subsidising BYD, while they try to dump their subsidised farm produce all over the world...

But the wild card is the US has become so repulsive to the rest of the world, no one wants to buy their subsidised shit any more.

I actually stumbled across this while looking into Salisbury Plain.

If you know where you are going for a look at something, check this first, might show you other sites close by that are not as well known.

Salisbury Plain is fascinating!

Enjoy!

Pfft! lists don't work!
Mine for example...
1, Have breakfast then make love to a supermodel.
2, Win lottery.
3, Have lunch and find cure for cancer.
4, *time off for afternoon nanna nap.
5, Purchase hang glider with lottery winnings.

I only achieved 1 out of the five on the list... 😐

I much prefer the Nigerian prince with the gold approach.

Ridicule and sarcasm rules in those situations. πŸ‘
Although the Roo approach does have some appeal.
I am starting to appreciate it. Might try it, hehe.

6, click on the West Woodburn in Northumberland, and the lidar map will pop up!

Voila!

How I found the Lidar.
1, look the site up on Google maps.
2, find the closest town. (West Woodburn)
3, go to www.archiuk.com/archi/lidarf...
4, enter the town name and search.
5, new page appears, click the drop down menu and choose the right West Woodburn. (there are two, one in Durham)

The Lidar is pretty impressive for the area.
Massive earthworks.

Note the "shadows" of the medieval Ridge and Furrow ploughing below the fort.
Still visible (to Lidar anyways) today.

Nasty... nasty pieces of work those things are.
It is also most likely responsible for the state of the warriors legs.

Need some advice here.

I keep getting conversation and follows from single attractive women, obvious honey pot luring.

Anyone know what the scam is they are trying to pull?
It is a definite pattern.
As soon as it looks dodgy, I inform them I am a Nigerian Prince who needs to move some gold...

We were just down here doing our own thing, the rest of the car world was basically irrelevant due to restrictive import tariffs placed to protect our auto industry.

This photo is famous here, it was taken by a Wheels Magazine photographer from the back seat on a public road while doing the road test for the magazine.
Bouncing on the rev limiter at 145 mph, straight out of the factory door.

The track is insane, there is exactly zero room for mistakes.
If you have 10 minutes watch this, it explains the track.

Both cars were built for one reason, and one reason only, to win a once a year race at Bathurst.
The circuit is a public road when not used for racing.
6.2 kilometres, 23 corners, and a 571 feet elevation between the lowest and highest points on the track with a 1.9 kilometre downhill straight.

This is a picture of the factory boffins stress testing the 265 cubic inch Hemi motor in development on a dyno.
6k revs under load for hours.
Both were seriously fast motor cars.
Seriously fast...

1970, in Australia we could buy a 4 door "taxi" with a few factory parts that would pull 14 second quarters and pull 100 mph inside the quarter.
In fact we had 2 choices, a V8 GT falcon, or a 6 cylinder Charger with triple Webbers, both would seriously embarrass all that list.

Had my zener diode die on me one night, weird, all of a sudden my 12 volt machine got hold of over 20 volts, blew the headlight.
Blew the fuse 2 seconds later, man the light got bright before it blew!

How has Mr Lucas been for you?
He gave me hell for months till I finally spat the dummy and put a full 7 circuit fuse box in it. It had one fuse between the battery and earth. There was bits of loom and a lot of bad words flying that day.
100% replace the zener diode with something reliable.

Yeah, the Bommies had 32's if I remember correctly. Or 30's...
Hang on... maybe the 32's were on the single carb jobs like the Trophy, and a pair of 30's on the Bonneville.
Meh, can't be arsed looking it up. 😁

Do the 500's run Amal carbs?
Pretty sure there is an English company making brand new Amals authentic to the original, but with finer tolerances.
How were the engine cases, did they leak like a sieve at the joins? The 650's do. Notorious for it.
