From: aworsley ox <Worsley@miebach.com> Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2000 17:20:34 -0000 Subject: Joke > Only in Australia ... This is based on a story from a local paper. Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local pub. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the car park or a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five vehicles, the man managed to find his car which he fell into. He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine dry night) flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained stationery for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left. At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down the road. The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyser test. To his amazement the breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man having consumed alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station, this breathalyser equipment must be broken." "I doubt it", said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ <- Message 19 -> | Table of Contents | Search Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

After a trouble-free winter, it was clearly attention seeking. I pulled into a service station on the A1 to investigate, and was just checking over the HT leads when a bronze green 90 pulled up nearby. A helpful chap got out, expressed concern, and told me where the local ex-mil LR specialist was! Clearly a good omen - after removing the rusty bits from the bottom of the fuel pump bowl, reattaching the distributor cap with *both* clips (doh!) and giving the electrics a coating of WD40 for good measure, it ran sweet as a nut all the way home.

From: "Steve Mace" <steve@solwise.co.uk> Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2000 09:36:41 -0000 Subject: Re: electric turbos This talk of Electric Turbos has got me thinking about how to increase HP. Speaking as a layman it would seem that the air pressure that the engine actually sees is well below 1 atmos i.e. the air pressure in the inlet manifold. It would be easy enough to measure by putting a guage on the servo pipe but I'm going to guess perhaps 25% less than 1 atmos? All these turbo devices are doing is trying to increase that inlet air pressure. Anything that can be done to raise the inlet air (mixture) pressure is going to help boost power so a more free-flowing carb/air-filter setup would probably work wonders and probably also help mpg and cost less than any fancy head work or a turbo. Has anyone done any tests on how the inlet pressure is influenced by different carb and air-filter setups? I now the Webber single port is popular (infact I tried this myself for a few months but I wasn't impressed) but what about a twin port Webber or even 2 twin port Webbers?

I haven't done any scientific tests, but something as simple as an air ram can increase performance, as it provides a degree of forced induction at speed.

From: "Tim Burt" <tim@muddyweb.freeserve.co.uk> Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2000 21:33:04 -0000 Subject: Places to stay Just a note to explain the comments that young Mr Bickerton raised..... No, I haven't gone totally mad and I don't have a Swiss Alter Ego. I know Kat and Nick Sonderer (by e-mail). They are the couple of Land Rover nutters who have opened up their house for LR travellers. The 'Place to Stay' system was set-up after a message I got from them asking if I could post a message somewhere on my site which advertised the fact that they would be willing to meet and greet fellow owners. I talked to them and took it a step further in order to try and develop something a little more complete. The journalist in question was (obviously) wrong in saying that the information was on their web site, it's on mine.... but it was inspired by them. At present there are only a few people who have registered, but I have just got another person (I assume as a result of the mag coverage) who is willing to open their doors. Just wanted to clear that up. Cheers, Tim Burt www.muddyweb.co.uk - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[ <- Message 34 -> | Table of Contents | Search Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
