LOL...because if anyone can remember my "Telstra can kiss my ass" thread...i get disconnected constantly. Still have to find out about this...might be my modem.

Also...I only have 300mb download, which I use up from just surfing!! Why waste 50mb on my account, when I can do it at work for free :wink:

gumball rally is a "race" from new york to LA, or LA to new york, cant remember which. i say "Race" because its more of a cruise for rich people with ferraris and porsches than it is an actual race. most people just cruise around and dont break the law, some of the people get more reckless than that. they drove through memphis (Where i live), but i missed them. there were several high speed pursuits right outside of the city here with lots of arkansas state police and helicopters, i think one of the lambos was doing 190+ mph on interstate 40 in traffic

gumball rally runs every year from new york to LA. it really is not a run to enter unless you have sufficient funds as lots of cars doing top speed runs over the course of a few days tend to die

a better cruise is running of the bulls which is a lambo cruise and they get police escorts everywhere as well. imagine a cruise lineup of between 50 and 70 lamborghinis driving past you. one word SENFARCKENSATIONAL.

this is the one cruise of my lifetime that i will do anything to attend

There were a couple of "gumball rally" type events held in Oz years ago. Not the Cannonball Run in the NT but Sydney-Perth.

Totally crazy stuff. The guys my mum knew got a falcon and modified the boot to be a fuel tank. 1 driving, 1 awake watching the driver, 1 asleep in the back. They'd change seats on the run and only had to stop for juice a few times.

The guy that won had a ute with a fuel tank that filled up the tray!!! 8O 8O

I think it died out after a few years when some of them got arrested.... :roll:

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
