Apparently, there are some feelings of inadequacy out there
I'm not sure what emotional void these things fill, but they all were big crowd-pleasers at this year's SEMA show.

Its no secret, its the prototype of the Lightning Chassis, since dicontinuted. billet machined 7075 T6. Worth a couple hundred bucks to the right buyer. Very tough, could drive an SUV over it. Its for an RC car. This is my production chassis. I took the above picture for selling the protoype. Owner has been wanting to sell it for some time. I found a buyer and took the pictures. http://www.unlimitedengineering.com/...supermaxx2.jpg |
Er - pardon , no comprendo - quesque c'est?
And how big is it anyway? Oh, and whats it for? |
It's an aluminium Remote Control (RC) Car.
Looking at the pic it has twin electric engines, double rear shocks, single front, aluminium arms, towers, bumpers and everything else. The flat areas on either side of the first photo with the ribs would be where the batteries live. Quite long arms so I'm guessing a monster truck and it would be very tough to break. looks a little large for 1/10th scale so I'll guess 1/8th correction, the twin shocks look like they are on the front. |

Re: From a recent trip to Europe...
I don't mean to be a d*ck, but these photos are from your recent trip to the United Kindom not Europe. Just wanted you to know as it might upset a few people from the places that you took those photos.
Except for Mallorca, you can call that Europe! |
I dont mean to upset anyone either - but he seems to have forgotten that the UK IS IN EUROPE!
DOH! So you DID visit Europe - a full list of the countries can be found by searching Google for "members of the European community". We always thought it was Americans who didn't know geography! SmileWavy |
White87911,
The United Kingdom is in Europe. It joined the European Union in 1973. Spain didn't join until 1986. Thanks though. Cheers, Paul. |

By the way, Nice photos! How come the wife is in the back seat? |

FYI, the fuel rods are stored in a containment building that a 747 could hit without a radioactive release. |
People also associate nuclear power with large animals, mutations that give multiple heads or eyes (see Matt Groening's "Blinky, the Three-Eyed Fish"), glow-in-the-dark radiation, and Really Big Explosions(tm). Movies where the main character starts the reactor by installing the control rods and video games where the reactor is started by securing the coolant pumps don't help any.
(sigh) Oh, well. |

If you look in the mirror of my first pub photo, you can see that used the flash. I think it reflected back to the light sensor in the camera and negated itself. (But the place really is pretty dimly lit.) This photo, again with flash, may give a better idea of of the actual lighting.

Anyone ever been to paradise? I have been close! The Maladive Islands, just South of India, was a wonderful place and very isolated so its not over-run by tourists.
Almost every island has its own hotel. We checked in and offered our credit card and they declined. Told us that "you are stuck here and we know where to find you!" Each "room" is a hut. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1131852523.jpg The bathrooms are very interesting.

Thom,
Right away, I can see the problem. Not enough beer. I had to rebuild the deck and transom of a 20 ft speedboat once. I don't envy you. *** I just got this prototype part in from our machine shop on Friday. I'm not telling what it fits. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1132520288.jpg |

Spent a week in the Maldives in the late 80's...on our way to Bombay. We were the first US ship to port in India in almost 17 years. Since India views the "Indian Ocean" as their domain, they require any US vessel leaving Diego Garcia to make an interim stop prior to coming inport to India. We stayed in Little Hura, a very small isalnd withour much to offer other than beauty.. I have nothing but praise for for India's resolve where the Maldives are concerned! |

Pic taken of my wife this past weekend of on the front porch of our new house. She was freezing it was about 40° out. We are going to have to grow some warmer blood.
I touched the pic a little to lighten it, I probably should have used a flash. I wonder if I'll ever get tired of the view? http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1132599593.jpg |
Is that a river down there?
