Terry, I always enjoy your progress updates. Z.C.

Today I had the boat on the water for the very first time. The list of last tasks kept on expanding . Eventually some tasks , mainly cosmetic just have to wait for later because summer is getting shorter . With which size propeller to start with? I chose a 12 inch diameter by 12...

Hey Jac, getting both your AXLES into GYRATION simultaneously ?? Just teasing. Z.C.

One aspect I would like to point out is that the " H " value of an alloy determines it's hardness. For the same grade eg. 5251 H xxx will be harder to form than when it is in "O" condition. 5251- "O" is dead soft . Z.C.

Chris, can I mention my 20 cents worth. From high speed applying the brakes hard on and the nose makes a dip a few things happen . First you and your competitor are trying to out-brake each other. Right now you want the front wheels to have the best grip possible. To achieve this them 2...

Molleur, thank you for the offer. For now the lenght is kept as a little surprise. I have uploaded some pics in my members list. Can someone please help to attatch them on my post. Before I started building I made a list of goals for the boat. 1.) The launch and retrieve must...

For the past 18 months or so I have been reading through the various vehicle build logs and came to realize that there is many similarities ( and of cause differences ) when building my boat. The similarities. It is taking a long time , longer than anticipated, about 5 years up to now. The...

Jim, Thank you for showing interest. Going to start the build thread now in The Auto Collection as suggested by Ron. Z.C.

Yep, it looks good. Thank you for the permission. Z.C.

Jim , thank you for the interest. I just don't feel to post pics of my 5 years of labor, love and sweat in those muddy waters , mud pool that the Paddock is lately. As soon as an appropriate sub Forum is created I would like to post my build log there. Z.C.

The gold wheels on red # 232 looks exactly like Mclaren items, confirming post # 15. This is the first time I have seen a coupe Mclaren can-am car . Wish someone can shed more light on it. Z.C.

I have a very similar request as to what Mark Pickford requested recently. In the same way as he feels, I also feel a bit foreign in posting on other websites where I " know " nobody and they don't " know " me. Is it possible that a new category of forum can be created, where members can...

Allan you are correct in spotting the 22 in the text . Page 119 left hand coulomb 13 lines from the bottom . Do you really want to call Tom to do explaining ? Keep in mind that book has 160 pages . With thousands ( if not millions ) of words letters and digits. One digit is "off " . Could...

I found this in an old magazine . The article is about the Le Mans Trials 1966. Sports Car Graphic , June 1966 , page 70. Quote " Ken Miles , who did three minutes 36 seconds with the second 7-liter of the type which he won with at Daytona. Third fastest , in the Alan Mann 4.7 liter...

Andrew, I read your " little story " found it interesting and balanced. No matter how much we discuss the events of 68 and 66 years ago , we are unable to change them . Hopefully there is a lesson to learn . I have to say; The men whom flew at 60 feet at night ---- well --- they truly had...

Post # 9 Urban myth, or is it International myth. I " heard " and read somewhere ( can not remember where ) that " the people" as defined in post # 9 are one of the worlds best conservationists. Perhaps while I was dreaming in my sleep , but I have heard about it. What does the...

Andrew you seem to be quite proud of Bomber Command. What is your view towards the bombing of Dresden in 1945 ? Z.C.

To me it looks like proof evidence that us humans are invading the natural habitat of these animals. Whats gonna happen ? The M Lion is going to eat a few of the chickens, perhaps kill a domestic dog etc. Owner is upset. Fetch the gun and shoot the lot. Next week, next year it is on...

Keith , I for one are glad to see you have resurfaced. Z.C.

Quote Mk IV "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want" Then I had lots and lots of experience at the age of 17 without ever having had the experience. Z.C.
