        Kiwis, sheep and Rugby.
        I am a kiwi and can not stand Rugby, come 2011 I will shoot downstairs to my workshop (as usual) to avoid watching 30 knobs run about chasing a ball.

        Sheep are o.k but goats are much better for r00ting and for eating. I'll deffo curry either of them. Beef is better and we have some of the best of it right here.

        Beer. Mine is the best and that is that.
        Anyone who disagrees is welcome to come and try it.
        See it....find the photos.....sketch it it....build it........with wood

          YOU DO NOT LIKE RUGBY!!! Damn a few Kiwis will be on your arse

          Goats for rooting, you are a sick puppy...Beer is OK...curry is great with LAMB

          Andy and Paddy give Simon a call, as he is in a mental distress state

              As far as that oval ball game is concerned I will use words such as dislike and stronger all the way to can't farkin stand the game !!
              I would rather watch grass grow slowly.
              In fact I do like to watch a good game of golf, especially when there are some big water traps that look like possible FE running areas.

              I like pretty much any sport that burns petrol but diesel is prefered, Dakar is the best !!

              Here is the thought for the day.
              If it walks, you can eat it !!

                      Ozzie here are some pictures taken today for your M8. Tell him to look at the 2 pictures of the sponson tops carefully. He will see one is puffed. Andy said that happened when he left the boat in the car on a very hot day. It does not affect performance though.

                          How I love that boat !!! The sponson is just a minor cosmetic thing, it in know way has changed the wet surfaces. My first boat to be consistently over 110 kph and handles as good as anything out there when set up right. BTW the sponson thing happened before its maiden run.

                              This will not be new to ozzie but might be to a few others.
                              I just changed my radio control system from JR R-1 to Spektrum DX3S. I have the receiver with telemetry and have a marine receiver coming.
                              The videos will show you what telemetry can do. Basically it will send information such as rpm, the temp of motor, battery or esc or the volts of the receiver battery from the boat back to the transmitter in your hand so you can see these things at a glance. This is very helpful when setting up a boat.
                              The marine receiver is said to work in a glass of beer but my beer is not going out in the boat for that to work . I will use a battery instead
                              I took the second video just in case the first one did not work and I moved about 100 feet from the boat to help demonstrate how it works over distance. It is supposed to be good for up to 200 feet.

                                yes there a very good radio, bet it feels weird the weight difference
                                unfortunately i plugged a ubec into my marine rx today instead of the normal battery pack i use and it blew my rx
                                that's 2 esc,s and a rx in 2 days not a good start to the Crissy holidays
