  1. No, I guess they don’t. Clean license myself though goodness knows how. 🤣
  2. Don’t speed? 🤷‍♂️[emoji16]
  3. Primary 1-3, then we moved to Banchory
  4. Stunning part of Scotland. I used to go to Crathie School.
  5. I was down that way myself a wee while back.
  6. A lad local to be buzzes around in a 90s Dodge Ram with the 5.9 Cummins in it. Hauls ass and still sounds amazing. Think Id be giving the 2l a swerve as well.
  7. Cheers Dave I hit the heady heights of 27 before I left for Norway. I’m often pulling something as well, but I doubt it’s as often as yourself.
  8. What MPG where you getting in it? Im getting an average of 25mpg in my 3l diesel.
  9. There simply is not any need to transport kiln dried wood half way round the world. When for many burning wood is seen as an eco zero-carbon option the Caron footprint on this must be horrendous. It’s bad enough there is folk shipping in kiln dried wood from Eastern Europe.
  10. If only we could deal with the recent past as well as we could the present, huh? The thing is we could, there is nothing stopping us perusing the old Labour "nu Labour" , Lets join forces and go after these cants first, then lets go after the current ones? so how about it Markie Mark?
  11. Nothing to prove and clearly nothing you can prove hence why you ripped stock images off the internet and claimed them as your own on here please deny you did that, please Id love for you to deny it, go on, you know you want to
  12. Keep in mind Leslie that your the only chippy that rips stock images off of the net and claims they are your own, gets praised for a great job by other unsuspecting members here and you unashamedly accepted the praise for the work the ripped off the internet You should be hanging your head in shame but you dont know the meaning of such a word Then when confronted by the lack of evidence of your work you posted a solidary picture of a sad looking slab of wood being badly sanded Let me know if I have any of this wrong We are all still waiting for the stairs you where supposedly taking a few hours out to take pictures of, abouta damn year ago,
  13. Give it a rest Leslie All you do is speak sheet, just go back to do what you do best, and thats certainly not carpentry
  14. A post from a very knowledgeable member of the US/Aussie Mopar Muscle car club Im a member of, This all regarding E10, mind this is regarding V8s, hemi 6 and /6 from the 60s-80s Aussies and USA been using it for years provided pipes are up to scratch and fuel pump diaphragm isn't original you should be ok additive if you leave half a tank in the car for 6 months at a time it will go off faster and i guess the usual winter and summer blends should be used in winter and summer but other than that if the fuel system has nothing that reacts with ethanol in it all will be well timing might need a look and running temp should be monitored but i doubt we will notice lead balls snake oil leaded petrol contained tetra ethyl lead The process for preparing tetraethyl lead which comprises:- reacting a lead-sodium alloy and ethyl chloride together in the presence, of an aryl ortho phosphate catalyst. dunking yer balls isn't going to do that...... regardless of them being lead or some "special" catalyst anything you put in the tank... if it isn't dissolving isn't doing anything positive or negative to the fuel fuel catalysts and pellets don't seem to dissolve therefore we can assume they are also snake oil octane boosters do work but they are just mixes of organic chemicals much the same as the additive package added at the refinery fuel stabilisers work but all they do is bind with any water absorbed by the ethanol and keep it dispersed through the fuel rather than letting it puddle due to its different density hence any in tank rusting is diminished and you burn the fuel and vaporise the water across a full tank. rather than trying to start the car on an ethanol/water mix and no petrol. water in petrol sinks to the bottom keeping it dispersed throughout helps to avoid rough running on old fuel must admit the tank full from last october was a bit nasty and ping-y when i got the car out in march this year new tank full normal service resumed
  15. I built a log deck with ramps behind it Load the log deck with over 5t of logs, then stack them behind with the loader Quick rill up onto the log-deck when the loaders gone The loader cen keep me going for quite a while
  16. Get a Bandsaw. Still graft but a lot less than an Alaskan. £400+ a day.
  17. I’ll try and hold out long enough to post a vid. 🤣 Its not arrived yet. It left Sweden about 10 days ago so surely it’s due any day. But it’s going to the dealer first for a check over then coming down to me.
  18. So I’ve resawn a slightly curved Oak Slab that I milled with the Chilaskan about 4 years ago. It’s just under 3” thick now and about 4 meters long. It’s going to be a garden bench, maybe around a fire pit, but we’ll see. I’m thinking that I’ll copy the design below. It’s simple, sturdy and looks good. My question is could I use green oak for the slab legs? I’ll need 4 legs (minimum) and it seems a waste to use seasoned oak for this. I don’t want the legs to twist/warp and give me an unstable bench. But then again, it will be sitting on grass so could well absorb any warping? Any advice is gladly welcome, as is suggestions for designs.
  19. Just think how quickly it could dry your windows after they’ve been licked all day.
